There is no expiration date on this cough medicine. It is hydrocodone-chlorpheniram that was filled on 9/2/14. Is this still safe to take? ## Hi Jackie, According to studies represented by Harvard University and the LA Times Newspaper, hydrocodone can reportedly last anywhere from 10-40 years past the expiration date, depending on the conditions in which it is stored. Chlorpheniramine on the other hand is something I'm not so sure of (when it comes to long term studies); however, GlaxoSmithKline a UK-based drug manufacturer denotes a shelf life of 3 years for their Chlorpheniramine tablets. I understand that your product is liquid rather than a tablet, but if it were me in this position I'd probably feel some sense of security if it were stored in a cool, dry and dark environmen...

Is a Hydrocode/apap 7.5mg/500mg/15ml perscription the usual dosage for a 7 year old child, weight approx 80lbs? ## Yes, that is the usual dosage for a child, to treat cough, fever and cold symptoms. The Hydrocodone, however, is a narcotic, so you really have to be careful to follow ALL of your doctor or pharmacists dosing instructions for use. Side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. You can read more on the medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with?

How much hydrocodone is in a does of 5 ml hydrocodone bitarate cough syrup? Is it the same as taking a 7.5 norco tablet? ## Hello, Granny! How are you? It can vary, depending on the prescription. What dosage is listed on the label? Usually, it will have something such as 7.5/5ml or something similar that lets you know how much is in each teaspoon. Can you please post back with this information, so I can help you? Thanks! The FDA lists 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. ## Oh my, I didn't realize it was that strong! So it says each 5 ml equals 10 mg of hydrocodone bitarate. So is that the same as a hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 ?? #...

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 rea...

I have a tropical flavored hydrocodone-apap liquid but it doesn't say the strength?!! How much wud I need to take to equal 1 yellow 10/325 norco? It says take 1 teaspoon every 4-6 hrs for cough. Or am I way off and the whole bottle won't equal 1? Lol ## The bottle should have the amount of medication in 5 cc's on the bottle. Are there any numbers on the bottle after the name of the medication ? ## If it's hydrocodone/acetaminophen sol, it's 7.5/325 per 15 ml meaning 7.5 mgs hydrocodone, 325 Tylenol if it's the new sol, older formula has 500mg acetaminophen(Tylenol) so you would need 20ml to get 10mg. Be careful of Tylenol tho. New recommended dose is 3000mg per day. Now if its cough syrup, it's tussinex , is it super thick? That's 10mg hydrocodone per 5 m...

What would be the milligram in pill form of a 150 homatropine /hydroco 1.5-5mg/5ml liq ml ## Hello, Steve! How are you? The pill form would be the same dosage, 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 1.5mgs of Homatropine. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic cough suppressant, 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? ## How much of that same liquid would i take to equal a 10/325 hydrocodone? ## If the dosage is the same as stated by the original poster of 1.5/5 per 5ml then it would take 10ml and you would be getting 3mgs of the cough suppressant homatropine and 10mgs of hydrocodone.

My 30lb terrier mix is in heart failure and has been taking one half a pill once daily for approx 6 months. Last night and today her cough is constant. I cannot get ahold of her Vet.

I GOT THIS MED FOR A CHECK INFECTION LAST YEAR. WHY CAN'T MY PHARMACIST FIND IT NOW AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO CHERATUSSION AC SYRUP? ## The Hydrocodone APAP shows that it also contains Acetaminophen with the narcotic, this type of syrup/suspension is usually given to treat cough, fever and pain. The only thing it would do for an infection is treat the pain and fever that it may cause, it wouldn't actually treat the infection itself. The Cheratussin AC contains Codeine and Guaifenesin, so it isn't the same, because this would be used mostly to treat cough and cold symptoms. Your pharmacist should be able to find the Hydrocodone/APAP, but do you actually have a prescription for it, or are you just asking them to find it? If you're just asking about it, they may not be giv...

I don't take Ip272. I found the pill and the "p" is capitalized not lower case. Came across this site while looking for what type of pill this was. Don't think my incontinence problem has anything to do with this pill. But I am having a problem with incontinence. Started slowly and not frequently i.e.: only when I coughed hard. Then I started having problems because I could feel I was wetting my pants, but there was no urgency. It is as though my "crotch" went numb and started leaking all on its own and I had to get to the bathroom quickly. When I sat down, the urine came out but I didn't feel anything but I still kept urinating. Twice I have wet the bed twice but not since then and that was two weeks ago. I have been exercizing my kegle muscle and that seems...

My bottle dates back two years old. Is it still OK to take? Wonder if it will harm me at this age? I'm sick with a cough and can't get out. ## I’m waiting to know what the difference in strength is between a hydrocodone-homatropine 5-1.5mg pill and a 10/325mg hydrocodone-acetaminophen pill, and how many of the hydrocodone-homatropine 5-1.5mg pills would I need to take to equal one of my 10/325 hydrocodone-acetaminophen pills? Can I also take my tramadol 50mg pills with the hydrocodone-homatropine 5-1.5mg pills? ## Mike, medications tend to lose efficacy once past their expiration date, so they may not work as well as they did, when they were new. Additionally, liquid medications can turn rancid, so they could actually make you ill. Thus, it would be best not to take it, bu...
