Again, no I’m not trying to smoke weed and haven’t done so already lol....not sure what will be prescribed I’m guessing something like Vicodin.....I will be seeing my AME before the procedure.I’ll ask him about the required waiting interval. All Very solid advice Rickair!
Many drugs are cleared sort of geometrically from the body, with half of what started being gone in a certain interval depending on the metabolism, excretion rate, and fat solubility of the drug. The general rule is that you want to wait five half-lives of the medication. For hydrocodone (that’s Vicodin) a half-life is four hours, so after 20 hours you ought not to have a problem. At that point the medication will be 97% eliminated.
