You can, but: someone needs to be around you to monitor the vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. You may experience breathing problems, sleepiness and/or loss of alertness. You need to wait 12 hours to be safe. Rec.: follow exactly instructions given to you by your prescribing physician.
