Is It Safe To Take Lori Tab, Prescribed As A Post Laminectomy Surgery Medications, Before The Night Of Driving?
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?
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.
