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

Explanation: He should only take the medication for the condition and dose his doctor prescribed. Do not use them for other types of pain, do not give them to friends (illegal and unsafe), and do not take more than the prescribed dose if pain worsens. If pain persists or worsens, contact the prescriber. Dispose of unused pills safely (take-back program or DEA-authorized disposal) if he no longer needs them.
