In the meantime he Is now on IChydrocodone for pain - 325 mg every 6 hours ( since Wednesday evening) . Pain is increasing, not eating & shaking from pain . We are to hear from OSU by Monday. Is it safe short term to shorten the time between pill by an hour or so. He has a 10 day no refill RX

Hello,
Yes, you can shorten the interval period by one hour and see if this is enough to make your husband pain free.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
