Hydrocodone Liquid & Tablets Prescription
(Newest replies first)

Hi, my name is Rebecca & I currently take hydrocodone 5/325mg tablets q6hrs for pain. I get 60 & I have refills so I can refill them as needed every 15 days. I was released from the hospital on Sunday w/pleurisy of the lungs due to my lupus. On Friday August 8th, my doctor gave me a prescription for Lortab liquid to ease my cough since I cannot take codeine. I filled the script for the Lortab liquid yesterday Friday. It is 10/300 taking 5ml every 4 hrs & there's 120mls which comes to 24 doses or 4 days supply. I am scheduled to have my hydrocodone tablets refilled on Tuesday & I'm wondering if b/c I just had the liquid filled will it cause me a problem. Tuesday will be the day the liquid is scheduled to run out also & since they're different scripts, different amounts, forms of medication etc I don't think there will be an issue. Can u explain to me if this might cause a problem when I go to Walgreens for a refill on my tablets? Thanks, Rebecca

Thanks for your rapid reply to my question. Yes, if the pharmacy were to contact my Dr I don't think the doctor would discontinue my hydrocodone tablets since they are a regular prescription & used to help manage pain & the Lortab liquid was prescribes by an ER doctor to help w/cough on a temporary short-term basis. I also didn't see or suspect a problem, but it is up to the pharmacy & they are pretty strict I hear. Like I said, both run out on Tuesday & I have refills for my tabs on file so hopefully there won't be an issue. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience. Thanks.

Since one is for a tablet and the other is for a liquid, it should not cause any problems. But, you never know. The pharmacy may or may not call your dr to verify that he wants you to continue with the tablets.
