Hydro Acet 5 325

I'm wondering if there are any interactions between my hydroco-acet 5-325 and promethazine 25 mg. ## No, there should not be any adverse interactions with these 2 medications. Promethazine, which is an anti-nausea drug, is often combined with narcotics to reduce nausea and as a boost for the pain reliever. You should be fine. The only thing that would be a problem is an allergic reaction to one or both medications. ## Hello, Jen! How are you? Actually, there is one concern listed in the databases, due to the fact that both medications can cause sedation, so taking them together can cause a cumulative effect. You may find yourself very drowsy and dizzy, which could affect your ability to drive, operate machinery and etc. Thus, you need to be aware of this and be careful. Are there an...

My husband has been on vicodin 500 for a couple of years, We switch from Walgreen to Walmart, And pick up his meds he took his pain pill and has a bad head ache and fills like he vibrating out of his body. We noticed the name on the bottle is, HYDROCOD/ACETA 5-325 Could this be makeing him have such a bad head ache and the weird vibrating. He also takes lorazepam and Naprosyn ## Hello, Linda! How are you and your husband? If he received a different generic from Wal-Mart, there is a chance that it could be a little stronger than one he was used to taking, which might be causing such symptoms. 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....

What is the difference between Oxycodone and Hydrocodone? ## Hi Natalie, Both Oxycodone and Hydrocodone are narcotic pain relievers that are similar in structure; however, the effects of Oxycodone are reported to be much stronger than Hydrocodone. One other thing to consider though, is that everyone reacts/responds differently to each medication despite their potency. So in my opinion it's really important to work closely with your doctor upon determining which drug may be best suited for you and your condition - not just based on strength alone, but also personal preference according to how they affect you. I hope this helps!

can this be mixed with excedrin? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? It generally isn't recommended, because you could end up taking too much of the Acetaminophen, which has the potential to be fatally toxic. 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. Have you consulted your doctor about what else you can take with it?

Can hydroco/acetamin 7.5-325mg be taken prior to root canal ## Hydrocodone /acetaminophen is a narcotic analgesic and CAN be taken before, during and after a root canal. There is no ASPRIN in it, or anything that causes thinning blood ......since I believe that is why you are asking the question? Anyway....it is fine to take it or, if you are taking it, to continue without stopping for the procedure. ## You can take it, before a root canal, as long as your doctor, or dentist approves of you doing so, and is aware that you are taking it, however, you do always need to check, because people with some medical conditions cannot take it. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and ...

Hello I am taking Hydroco\aceta 10 325 for knee pains. I had total rt knee replacement 2 yrs ago. Currently I have fever for 3 days. Went to my doc and he gave me levoquin and Motrin 500. Is it safe for me to take this while on Verapamil for high bp ? I only take the Hydro once a day if I need it. ## Hello, Maria! How are you feeling? Is your doctor aware of everything that you take? It is only safe to combine these medications, if they have approved that you do so. How high is your blood pressure? The Motrin may cause some elevation and fluid retention. Levaquin is an antibiotic that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I have narophary been taking 2 a day for 7 yrs now the doctors stoped it because of new law. ## Hello, Jo! How are you? Yes, the FDA and DEA changed this to a schedule 2 drug this past October, so general practice physicians will no longer prescribe it. If you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Is there a chance your current doctor could refer you to someone? 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.

Can hydroxide/acetaminophen 10-325 mg tab be substituted for Norfolk 10-325 mg tab? ## Hello, Kris! How are you? Looks like autocorrect was having some fun with you! :-) However, I happen to be fluent in Typonese! Yes, Norco is just one of the brand names for Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, so they are equivalent.

I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these medications, but you should double check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain.

why has the price increased from my cost $17.00 to $44.00, is this price gouging ? ## Hello, Norm! How are you? And no, it is simply due to supply and demand. Since the dosages with the higher amounts of Acetaminophen have been removed from the market, there is more of a demand for the doses with the 325mgs in them. 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? ## Hello. How long would one 10/325 vicodin work in my body before being excreted? I weigh 125 lbs

I'm on warfarin, so I can't take ibuprofen. My gout is extremely painful, is hydrocodone-acetaminophen good for gout? ## Hello, Chayong! How are you? You should take it, unless your doctor has specifically told you to do so, because Acetaminophen can increased the effect of the Warfarin, which could increase your risk of dangerous bleeding.

What dosage was the Lortab that you were taking? Most of them have a lower dose of Acetaminophen in them now, which could explain why it isn't helping your pain as much. You may need a dosage adjustment or to switch to a different medication. Have you consulted your doctor?

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...
