Can i pass a d.o.t. physical while prescribed hydrocodone?

Passing a DOT physical while prescribed hydrocodone can be challenging, as hydrocodone is classified as a controlled substance and may impair your ability to drive safely. The DOT medical examiner will evaluate your medical history, the reason for the prescription, and whether it affects your ability to perform your job safely. It’s crucial to be honest about your medication use and consult with your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your situation. Ultimately, the decision will depend on the examiner's assessment of your fitness for duty.
