A member asked:

I was prescribed lortab 10 for my arthritis. will crushing them help them work faster in easing my pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be : Crushing any tablets may expedite the action. Lortab is an immediate release medication and crushing will not significantly increase effective dose. Nevertheless modification of drugs is not advised by manufacturer.
