How Much Hydrocodone Is Safe To Take In 24 Hours?
How much hydrocodone is safe to take in 24 hrs. My son had an accident and cut is big toe with a mower blade. Is was a open wound fracture. They had to cut a small part of the bone to be able to have enough skin to cover the bone. His pain is severe. Need to know how many 5-325 hydrocodone piles he can take. He has a very high tolerance to pain but the wound has pulling, burning and throbbing pain.

Hi,
The maximum safe dose in 24 hours would be 8 tablets. This should be 2 tablets every 6 hours for a normal weight adult.
A non steroidal anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen may be added to the regimen.
You should always check the dosage instruction supplied with the drugs.
