It would be a good idea to put the pills in a bottle, if you still have them, and take them with you to the dr as proof that you're telling the truth. The dr may be willing to replace them if you can prove this really happened and give the wet pills to the dr. But, the dr doesn't have to replace them.

Hello, Christy! How are you?

No, a good portion of the medication has most likely been released, so they are likely worthless.

He should consult his prescriber regarding how to proceed.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
