Thank-you. I had a laminectomy L-1-5 & AFusion of L5 to S1 in Sept, We have been weaning (The
orthropedic surgeon & his N.P )_ the doses of my pain meds. I was on oxy contin 20 mg la q 12 hrs& dropped to 10 mg la then only @ 9pm. My daytime break throughs I am down to Lortab 5/325. I do not take the LT if I willbe driving that day. Is it safe to drive if I take the la the night before?

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

Lortab (Loritab) may make you drowsy, less alert, or unable to function well physically. Do not drive a car, operate machinery, or perform any other potentially dangerous activities until you know well how it affects you.
