I've been out of the hospital for a week or so after my third abdominal surgery and second ostomy revision. I've run out of Hydrocodone, last dose taken about 6 hours ago, and have a standing prescription for Pentazocine. I know it's late in the evening, otherwise I would call my pain management physician for advice. I don't want to be too late in taking something for pain, but I don't want to be foolish in potentially mixing medications. Does snyone know a safe amount of time before I can take my pentazocine, 50mg?

Hello Sven.

It is not useful to guess what dosages of these medicines to take and, ideally you should refer to a medic for your answers. However, if you google  'safe pentazocine dosage', you will find lots of authoritive advice. 

Best wishes

My husband's ostomy nurse recommended the site two years ago. The help and recommendations they have given us is invaluable.
