Post-Op Meds?!

[VivaDiva01 53]

Do they send you home with any meds??? If so, what kind???

[DeniseM 238]

liquid Roxicet for pain, Zofran for nausea.

My clinic called all my meds (except my narcotic) in to my pharmacy so I could have them at home already when I got home. I had an anti-nausea, anti-spasmodic, omeprazole (generic Prilosec to reduce acid), and they sent me home with a written prescription for Roxicet (liquid Percocet). They could have called that in if I had gone with the liquid Vicodin, but narcotics don't work that great on me and I usually need something stronger than they initially think. The anti-nausea and anti-spasmodic were both sublingual, the roxicet was liquid, and the omeprazole was the only capsule. I didn't have a problem taking any of them, except it took a chunk of time out of my day to get all of them plus all of my regular daily meds down.

Mine were all called in ahead of time so that I would have them when I got home as well. I had liquid lortab for pain, carafate liquid and (ugh) lovenox injections to prevent blood clots. My surgeon took me off my diabetes meds and cholesterol med when I left the hospital. I'm about 6 weeks post op and take no meds, just my daily Multivitamin and Calcium.< /p>

All of mine were called in & i got them filled prior to the surgery except the liquid pain meds. I had a script for nausea (pills & suppositories), reflux, & one to prevent gall stones.

No, they can't call the roxicet in, it's a Class 2 narcotic and you absolutely have to have a written prescription...they can even write refills for that one, lol! Thanks for the feedback!

I got all my post-op prescriptions filled prior to surgery so they were at home waiting for me. Mine were:

liquid lortab -- hardly used any of that

omeprazole -- PPI

Nystatin - to prevent thrush (I had to use that for a week prior to surgery as well)

Zofran - for nausea. Didn't need it as I was never nauseated.

Yeah, that thoroughly annoyed me... I get that the rules are intended to help prevent abuse, but for those of us that aren't a problem, all it does is make things dang inconvenient! :-)
