Hi,

Lortab is a schedule 3 drug according to the US FDA. It has a low to mid level abuse potential with proven medical use for moderate to moderately severe pain.

Today’s research indicates that a move toward individualizing the dosing of prescription agents is warranted and it can happen only after physical consultation / Your doctor will know about these drugs.

It would be unethical and inappropriate to prescribe you scheduled drugs without doing a proper examination.

I am sorry; an online doctor can only guide you and give you instructions but would not be able to write a script for the same.

I wish your pain subsides quickly and you return back to normal soon.
