Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 5 500 Tb

My wife will be taking hydrocodone acetaminophen 5 500 tb for the first time to help her get through her physical therapy. How long before the therapy starts should she take the pill to get maximum relief during the session. ## It's really difficult to say, because it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the regular release tablets like this to start being digested and enter someone's blood stream and then, of course, you want it to be working, before she goes in for the session to minimize the pain. I'd say she should take it at least half an hour before. Learn more Vicodin details here. However, I'm not a doctor, so I'd suggest she call hers and ask them, just to be certain. Additionally, like all analgesics, they really work better at preventing pain, rather than relieving ...

does hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-500 tb have actual codine in it ? My wife is alergic to codine. ## Hello, Casey! No, those are the actual ingredients, the narcotic Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. The Hydrocodone is actually more closely related to Morphine, but she should double check with her doctor or pharmacist to ascertain whether or not it's safe for her to take. It may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. This medication may also be habit forming. Learn more Vicodin details here. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. Got Cortisone shots in my lumbar region and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5-500 tb and Tramadol ER 200 mg from my rheumatologist. What is the Tramadol for? I'm starting a new job tomorrow and am not sure if I should take it until I know how they may effect me. Should I wait until this weekend to start? ## Hi Wendy, Tramadol is most commonly used for treating moderate to moderately severe pain, but has a wide range of other applications, including treatment for restless leg syndrome, acid reflux, and fibermyosis. If you're starting a new job of any kind, I would probably suggest waiting till you get off work to experiment with how these medications really affect you deep down. This way you can at least be more comfortable going into work knowing whether...

can i take hidrocodonoacetaminophen 5 500 tb if i pregnat? ## Hi Belen, Based on my research, During pregnancy, this medication should only be used when clearly necessary. It may slightly increase the risk of birth defects if used during the first two months of pregnancy. Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, take the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. For future reference; tell your doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as slow/shallow breathing, irritability, abnormal/persistent crying, vomiting, or diarrhea. This medication passes into breast milk and may rarely have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Also let your doctor know immediately...

My rheumatologist recently administered cortisone shots in my lumbar region and also prescribed Acetaminophen-Hydrocodone 500-5 tablets along with Tramadol ER 200mg for my ankylosing spondylitis. Can anyone tell me what the Tramadol is for? I start a new job tomorrow and am reluctant to take either of these medications since i don't know how they will affect me. Should i wait until the weekend to start? ## The Tramadol is also an analgesic. Learn more Tramadol details here. And yes, I'd be very reluctant to start them at the same time as starting a new job, just to be on the safe side. I supposed you could try during your off hours, such as at night to see how they affect you, but you should be cautious, especially if you are sensitive to medications. I am and Tramadol caused me...

my pain is too much to handle. the doctor cannot give me more than 30 tablets of hydrocodone/acetaminophen at a time. So I need to know how many Tylenol to take to help me. ## Hi Nikki, To my understanding, no amount of tylenol (acetaminophen) is equivalent to the effects of Hydrocodone, before experiencing what would be considered an overdose of acetaminophen - which can be extremely toxic to the liver. It sounds like your best bet would probably be to ask your doctor for a stronger pain medication (that you can take less of) or opt for a safer, more natural alternative that can be used as an adjunctive therapy to what you already take. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Hydrocodone Details I hope this helps!

I was given a script for pain when I had hip surgery. I got the pills (long white M368) but I have never used them. I was wondering if they were good for any type of pain? I took them in the hospital and I know that they worked. ## This is a generic perscription for vicodin. I have had these becasue my insurance won't pay for the real ones. Be careful with taking this medication. the 7.5 is the amount of real meadication, the 500mg is the amount of asprin or regualar pain reliever. It will eat your stomach up if you are not careful!! ## found this in room ## This is actually a combination of Acetaminophen with the Hydrocodone, so it can be very dangerous to self-diagnose and take it for other conditions, especially if you are taking any other prescription or over the counter drugs a...
