Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Lortab: Why would you want an increase. Firstly lortab should be used for short duration only. Secondly your doctor will decide on an increase based on his assessment of the situation. There has to be a reason that is justified for the increase. Just because you want it does not mean he will do it.
