Hydrocodone/apap 10/650

Updated

Daughter had abdominal surgery, after which she was prescribed Hydrocodone/APAP 10/650. She only weights about 108-111, very thin. She started to have a massive headache, started throwing up blood and coughing up blood, had to call 911 to go to her home she was too weak and could barely move or talk. Should she have been prescribed such a high dose at hear weight.

This is actually not an extremely high dosage, it is fairly standard.

The side effects you listed, except for the blood, are all normal for this medication.

this site is not medical professionals, so we cannot say with certainty, but the blood may have been caused by the Acetaminophen (APAP) irritating her stomach or it may have been related to the surgery itself. Only her doctors can discover the truth on that.

You can read more on the medication, if you wish, here:

Do you have any other questions?

D.can,
I have been relying on this website for quite some time now concerning questions about all sorts of medications, and Mr. Verwon hasn't failed me yet. He is quite knowledegable about prescription drugs. When I first read your post, I also thought that 10/650mg of Hyrodrocodone might be a bit to much for such a small person because I am over 230 lbs and all I can get is 5/500mgs from my doctor, even after surgery for a vein bypass in my leg. But if Mr. Verwon says that it is normal, then I would take his advice and consult with her doctors about what is going on with your daughter. AS Mr. Verwon stated prescription medications effects different people in different ways.

Thank you Jayjay124 for the awesome support, it is much appreciated. I am always very happy when I can help someone.

I would, however, like to point out just for the record that it's Ms. verwon! LOL!

And yes, that is a fairly standard dosage, as I said. It is a strong medication, but there are much, much stronger ones out there. I am not much bigger than the daughter that was being asked about and I have taken this same dosage before.

All medications carry the risk of side effects and adverse reactions. I have several that I will not take again for that reason. If she still needs something for pain from her surgery, she ask her doctor what her other options are to use.

I too agree with Ms Verwon..She gives excellent advice, and I also agree with her answer on the medication your daughter was given. Vicodin is for moderate to semi severe pain, even though in my opinion it is crap. The dose given to her is normal for someone who had surgery.Like Ms Verwon said we are not doctors and so we can only offer suggestions and support. It does sound to me that she shouldn't have been given that much tylenol. 650mg is in my opinion way too much..B4 you give her anymore pain medication please contact your doctor ASAP..He/she can examan her to find out what is going on and she may need to take a different medication or at least a vicodin with maybe 325mg of tylenol. There is also a medication called vicoprofin it is the same drug but instead of the tylenol it contains motrin..Let us know how she is doing. ok??
