Is it okay to call my doctor and increase the dose of my pain medication over the phone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not opioids: It is okay with most pain medications that are not opioids. However, with opioid medications, like oxycodone for example, you need a face to face appointment to discuss pain issues, tolerance, and abuse potential to assure safe prescribing.
