One point for the pain medicine paranoids out there... Remember that the package insert for Vicodin (last time I looked) said no more than 5 pills per day. SOOOOO, if you take the max in your prescription above, you could take 2q3hr, which makes about how many? That would FREAK some people out...! You're causing these poor women to become ADDICTS!!!!!!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
