A member asked:

Can i take 3 1mg tablets of pms-hydromorphone and 1 400mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours? post knee surgery severe pain

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lots of narcotic. : That’s a lot of narcotic. 18mg daily. Big addictive potential there. Discuss stronger non-narcotic options with your surgeon, but would not advise what you’ve suggested here.

Dr Anyanwu and another doctor agreed
