Is this a strong pain medications? i do not get any relief from using it ## Hello, Shelley! How are you? Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen is a generic for Vicodin, Norco, Lortab and others. It is a narcotic analgesic, so it is pretty potent, but it doesn't work for everyone, since we are all different. Learn more Vicodin details here. Have you consulted your doctor about the problem? They should be able to prescribe an alternative medication that you can try.

I take two 5-325 hydrocodne/acetaminephin every night for back pain. Today I have a stomach bug and a bad headache, is it ok to take two extra strength tylenols for my headache? ## Sue, I'm not a licensed physician but my informed opinion is yes that amount of acetaminophen will certainly not cause any long-lasting effects, so don't suffer, treat your headache. No worries. ## sue, that is a total of 1650 mg of Tylenol and that is Too Much. You are not suppose to take any more than 1,000 mg Tylenol once every 6 hours. ## Hi Sue, Depending on what dose of acetaminophen you supplement with, it may very well fall within safe guidelines. For example, only taking 1 additional 325mg tab would put you at 975mgs of Acetaminophen each night (or every 24 hrs). Not to mention the FDA Drug S...

I would like to know everyone's opinion of this medicine..? After taking the m367s...these are great... To me... ## They are manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone, and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, constipation, dry mouth, and dizziness.

My husband got his finger cut off yesterday and the doctor gave him 7.5 hydrocoden. And its been hour and half and he is in pain. I was wondering if advil woukd be ok to give him to help him out. The bottle says he can take two but he dont want to take 2 he took one. Thank you ## @Charlena, Sorry to hear about your husband's mishap. I can't imagine how excruciating that must've been or how it may be affecting him psychologically... Though it sounds like he's in good hands with you looking after his treatment regimen. I just wanted to add that taking ibuprofen with hydrocodone/apap is generally regarded as safe. They actually make a hydrocodone/ibuprofen drug combination by the name of Vicoprofen. And as far as my personal experience goes, I've never had any issues ta...

If I took one of these, how much alcohol can I consume to still be safe ## You shouldn't consume any, while taking a prescription medication. Alcohol can intensify the side effects, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual, as reported by the FDA. However, if your doctor does approve of you imbibing, please make sure you will not be driving, or operating dangerous machinery. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Finally, I have found something that relieves my terrible cluster headaches. I have had them for over a year, been on verapimil (which did not work), and suffer horribly. This medicine is a miracle. ## I'm glad that you finally found something that works for you. Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin is a narcotic pain medication, so it may be habit forming. Thus, you should be careful to only use it as your doctor directs. Learn more Vicodin details here. Are you taking it regularly to prevent, or just on an as needed basis? ## Thank You, Verwon, for responding to my post! You're and angel!

i do not get relief from this pain medicine, what is the deal ## Hi baby, Unfortunately when it comes to choosing an appropriate pain medication, there's a lot of room for trial and error. If your body is accustomed to another manufacturer's versions of this, then its ineffectiveness may be attributed to the different binders/fillers that are being used in this particular tablet versus others. That's my theory anyways, given that nothing else is changed on the label when you switch between different manufacturer's brands/generics. The only thing I'd encourage patients to do in light of this, is to kindly ask the doctor to be more descriptive on the prescription he/she writes, in order to pick out a specific manufacturer that you feel works best from past personal exp...

M375 on one side oblong split on the other ## Hello, Freda! How are you? Did you mean M 357? If so, this tablet was manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a dosage that is no longer available, since the maximum dose of Acetaminophen in them now has been lowered to no more than 325mgs. The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

How long after taking 2 tylenol can I take a norco 5/325? ## I suffer severe neck pain from degenerative arthritis. My doctor refuses to give me a script for hydrocodone which is the only drug that helps me. Can you suggest some other drug I could take that would help me? ## Hello, Jennifer! How are you? It would be 8 hours, you'd need to replace the next Tylenol does with the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen. Taking too much Tylenol/Acetaminophen in any 8 hour period may result in overdose toxicity, which can be fatal. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Dorothy, have you tried pain management? You may get more help from a speci...

IS IT SAFE TO TAKE TYLENOL P M 2 HOURS AFTER TAKING HYDROCO/APAP 7.5-325 ## Hello, Sam! How are you? No, you actually can't take that much Acetaminophen safely in that short of a time period, you can't exceed 1,000mgs per 8 hours, or 3,000mgs in 24 hours. Additionally, they both cause sedation, which may also be dangerous, if it's too much for you. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take hydrocodone 10 / 325 1 too 2 every 6 hrs....I've taken up to 8 in a 24 period..I've been doing this for 3 yrs.only side affect I encounter is upset stomach if I take on empty st...

I take one tablet of hydrocodone/apap 5-352 mg, but when I go to bed and wake up in 4 hours I can't get back to sleep. Can I take an advil pm to help me to get back to sleep? ## Hi Norma, According the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there is a high interaction potential reported between hydrocodone and the diphenhydramine in zzzquil / advil PM, stating that combining them may increase your risk of certain side effects such as: "loss of balance or dizziness, slurred speech, feeling confused, experiencing changes in mental awareness, or slow / shallow breathing." They go on to note that if adjunctive treatment is required, your doctor may adjust the dosage and/or frequency of dosing in order to mitigate any possible risk of side effect...

I have had a fever ranging from 100.5 to 102.0 for just over 24 hours. Fever went away and felt great all day today. But came back this evening. My body aches so bad and cannot get comfortable or fall asleep! I took a hydrocodone 5/325 an hour ago and my temp is still up. Is it OK to take a 500mg naproxen? I NEED SLEEP! ## They can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves. Some people do take both, or alternate them to get better control of pain, or fevers. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Are you on any other medications?

I AM IN PAIN CAN I GET A PRECIPTION FOR HYDROCODONE ## Hello, Nadeem! How are you? I'm sorry, but this website does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications or products, it is an information only resource. Since the medication you want to take is a controlled substance, you will need a doctor's prescription. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking the above medication and am having a severe pain in the back of my head. Like a shock. Any ideas if this is something serious? Im also taking amoxicillian with it. It of course was prescribed. ## Have you ever taken it before? Or even just the Acetaminophen by itself? While many people take it for headaches, it does cause them in some people, rather than relieving them. However, it is odd and I'd suggest talking to your doctor about it, to be on the safe side. Learn more Lortab details here. Other side effects it can cause may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. The Amoxicillin is an antibiotic and may also cause side effects, such as dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. ## I have taken it before. And it has never had...

My doctor changed my medication from Lortab 7.5 500 to Norco 7.5 325, but now i'm super sleepy for about 2 hours now. Any answers ? ## It might be a slight withdrawal effect, due to the lower amount of Acetaminophen, because it potentiates the Hydrocodone. It usually takes about a week or so, for your body to adjust. However, if it continues past that, or worsens, you should consult your doctor. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Its been about 1 1/2 months, but I just found out. The lower the apap the higher Hydrocodone, that's what's make me sleepy now. If you take 1 tylenol with it - it reduces the...

Hydrocodone is Great for pain after a root canal! ## Hi Bob, Glad to hear that the Hydrocodone is really helping your pain. From what I hear, the combination of Hydrocodone + Acetaminophen seems to be a common choice for many post operative dental procedures. I believe 10mg is also highest you can get for this particular medication, so I'm guessing the pain is probably pretty severe without this high of a dose. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Vicodin Details Did your dentist let you know how long the pain is expected to last?
