What is the safest narcotic to prescribe following a thyroidectomy and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe narcotics: Greetings. Personally, I feel all narcotics are safe medications as long as they are used appropriately as prescribed. I try to write for a lower potency which will provide adequate relief. Codeine is always a good choice.
