Answer: "If his back pain flares up in a few days, he can still take the pills."

Explanation: He should only take prescription medication for the condition and dose it was prescribed for, and should not give it to others or use it for different pains. He must not exceed the prescribed dose. If he doesn't need them, dispose of leftover pills safely or ask his pharmacy/doctor about take‑back options. If unsure, check with his prescriber.
