Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 5 500

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!

difference between pink an blue hydrocodone acetaminophen 10-500 ## What are the markings on the tablets?

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.

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 ...

I'm allergic to codeine. Does it contain codeine? ## The active ingredients are exactly what you listed, Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen, the Hydrocodone is a narcotic. It is distantly related to codeine, so in some instances people that are allergic to one are allergic to the other, but that is very rare. Learn more Vicodin details here. Did you inform the doctor that you are allergic to Codeine? Does your pharmacy know, so they have it in your records?

White oblong pill blank on one side, 906 on the other side.

why would the price of hydrocordon acetiminiphen 5-300 be more than 5-500 ## Hi, Martha! The price may be higher due to several factors, such as being made by a different manufacturer, or if you would be prescribed more of the one that you would be of other. Learn more Vicodin details here. It isn't always the dosage that affects the price of a prescription drug. Which has been prescribed for you? ## I'm amazed at the prices I'm seeing. I have hydrocodone 5/500. I got 30 tablets from Walmart for 25 cents each! No insurance. These price differences are crazy. But I can see how the 10mg ones would be double that price because the non-acetaminophren part (the Hydrocodone itself) is the narcotic, but more than $1 a pill just doesn't seem right.

I was prescribed this medicine and it says for severe pain, is 5 mg the Lowest amount you can get or is it higher than 7.25? ## It comes in hydrocodone 5mgs, 7.5 mgs and 10 mgs. There is 500 mgs of tylenol in it. The 5 mg is the lowest dose in pill form ## Hydrocodone, which is the generic for Vicoden, is what I was prescribed after Percocet didn't give me much relief. I then was switched to Roxycodone, because I have elevated liver levels in my blood work, and the Tylenol can worsen that. I am now prescribed 30 mgs. of Roxycodone three times a day. Whether it be Percoset, Vicoden, or Oxycodone or Roxycodone and going up to more powerful pain medications, they are all so very addictive. My suggestion for everyone that is given a prescription for any of these is to try your hardest t...

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.

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?

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...

Does Lortab make a 10/325? My Doc changed my lortab 10/500 to norco10/325. Norco is a different medicine, making me really tired. everyone keeps saying its the same as Lortab. I STRONGLY disagree. help ## Hi, I'm on pain management & have taken Lortab then Norco for years. Norco is the same as Lortab with 325 mg of acetaminophen instead of 500 mg. My doctor changed mine as well due to the affects on the liver. I understand the hesitation. When he changed mine I wasn't thrilled either, but I'm a creature of habit & dislike change in routines. I'm uncomfortable when my generics are from another company & look different than I normally take. I promise, it's the same 10 mg of hydrocodone. Both Lortab & Norco contain the same active ingredients: acetaminop...

My daughter has been taking hydrocodone 5/325 every 4 hrs since Thurs afternoon. 24 hrs ago, her dr moved it to every 6 hrs, and she took her last one at 615pm last night (it's now 1250a). Can you switch to extra strength, OTC acetaminophen now (500mg tabs)? Or should we wait longer after her last hydrocodone dose? Please advise. Thank you! ## You can take up to 3000mg of acetaminophen in a 24hr period. Anymore than that should be under a doctor's care/advice. ## According to the FDA, their 'liver warning' goes by a maximum daily dosage of 4,000 mg within a 24-hour period. This is not to say that you shouldn't consult with your doctor first, but it should allow for substantial flexibility in your dosing. If you're currently taking 1300mgs a day (325mgs four times...

I've been approximately 10 years on hydrocodone acetaminophen 10-500. It now has been changed to Hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 without any consultation. What would be the reason for the change and will it attack the pain the same? Thank you. Todd ## All prescription tylenol combinations medications had to reduce the amount of tylenol to no more than 325 mg in Jan 2014. The FDA has even taken action to withdraw the approval for prescription meds that have more than 325 mg tylenol. The decrease in tylenol may or may not make any difference to you. Some drs are telling their patients to add 1 regular strength tylenol to the prescription meds, if they need it. Just be sure to keep track of how much tylenol you take in a 24 hrs period and don't let it exceed 4,000 mg in a 24 hr pe...

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...

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...
