He states on his medical history that he takes a baby aspirin to prevent heart disease, a multivitamin, and Xanax for anxiety. He also notes on his health history that he is a recovering alcoholic. The dentist writes a prescription for 800 mg of ibuprofen, but Pete tells his physician that ibuprofen does not work for him and that only OxyContin works for his pain.
