How Many Times A Day Is Every 6 Hours

Hi. I am prescribed Percocet 10/325 one tablet every six hours for pain. I've had more pain recently. How many tablets can I be taking in a day?

Thanks!

Hello, Chrissy! How are you?

That would be up to 4 a day, based on what you've said in your post.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
