It may be because of the Tylenol, depending on how you're suppose to take it. The FDA had recommended that max amount of Tylenol in 24 hrs be no more than 4,000 mgs.

The only New Law governing Hydrocodone is in New York and it went into effect at the end of Feb 2013. It states that all hydrocodone combination products are now Schedule II. Which means no refills and it can't be called in.

The law regarding the quantity actually isn't a new one, it was just not being enforced. However, in light of the ever increasing rates of theft, abuse and diversion, the DEA has started to crack down on pharmacies that weren't enforcing it.

Not only is there a limit on how much they can provide you with in a month, which is what's considered to be the maximum daily dose for those that aren't suffering from a terminal illness, but there are also limits on how much they can order and keep in stock each month.

So yes, since it's supposed to be dosed at every 6 hours, then that's 4 tablets a day, for 120 a month.

Additionally, along with what BL mentioned, there are concerns about the Acetaminophen and to add more information to that…

The FDA has actually requested that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in them to no more than 325mgs per dose. Some companies have already begun to institute the change and are no longer making ones with a higher amount of Acetaminophen in them and the rest are expected to have the change complete my January of 2014. Thus, when the complete change is made, this dosage will no longer be available.

And the 4,000mg a day limit isn't just due to an idle limit set by the FDA, it is actually because doses greater than that in 24 hours can be toxic and result in Acetaminophen poisoning, which can actually be fatal.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
