Pain Meds After Surgery

I just had knee replacement surgery. The surgeon gave me a script for norco 10/325. I also have a regular monthly script from my main Dr for the same medication. If I fill the one from the surgeon will I loose my regular script?

If the dosing and dosing frequency are the same, then yes, it may cause a problem with both your regular doctor and the pharmacy.

The FDA classifies this medication as 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?
