How long is my script of hydrocodone good for once filled?

I agree with everyones answer its good for 2 years and god i wish i had your patience and tolerance.

I would just look on the bottle and it will tell when the prescription expires. There is a lot of useful information on the label of the prescription bottle.

It was prescribed over a month ago and I wasn't sure how long a narcotic script is legal for once filled. I just didn't want to take a chance. I haven't had to take any in 3 weeks and wanted to be on the safe side. I called the pharmacy and they said it would be good for 6 mos. used for the same thing it was prescribed for. Thanks.

hi msmomma3. If the medication is PRN, and you take them sparingly, I'm not sure why you wouldn't take one for pain. It is a legal script. When you have the UA, tell them all the medications you take. Bring the bottle with you to the test. I'm not sure why you would think you might lose your job over a legally prescribed, conservatively taken, medication? Are you in a safety sensitive position? Does the medication make you tired or dizzy? You could also have your doctor write a note saying you are capable of fulfilling your job duties while on this medication. Good luck to you.
My best wishes,
Chris
