    • "As doctors, we get used to writing a prescription for Percocet or Vicodin, we do have to write down the number of acetaminophen in that dosage," Ashton said on "The Early Show". "But a lot of times, we're just used to it as that brand name, and we might not realize just how much is in there."

      THAT IS YOUR JOB AS A DOCTOR.
      Norco 5/325 Vicodin 5/500
      Norco 7.5/325 Vicodin ES 7.5/750
      Norco 10/325 Vicodin HP 10/660
      Lorcet 10/650 Vicoprofen(IBP) 7.5/200
      Lortab=>cirrhosis
      Percocet 2.5, 5/325
      Percocet 7.5/325, 500
      Percocet 10/325, 650

      tape it to your clipboard & choose the lowest therapeutic narcotic/anti-inflammatory dose like you're paid to do, OR write "hydrocodone/APAP ## / ###," and stop blaming it on the drug reps.

      are rocket scientists this pretentious? is that why we haven't settled mars yet?

    • Through the scare that aspirin ?maybe? was the cause of Reye's syndrome(never proven) Tylenol reps got it in the door to health facilities and doctors offices under the assumpsion it was safe!
      I've been telling people for years it's toxic to the organs that process and eliminate it.
      BUT it's hard to remove that which has been rammed down our throat's for years.
      Just educating people properly, and wide range would have been enough. Big brother doesn't need to protect us from ourselves. We are not all stupid.
