What Is Hydrochloride A Narcotic

difference between hydrocodone and hydrocloride ## I am not certain exactly what you mean by this. Hydrocodone Bitarate is a narcotic analgesic, used to treat severe pain. A hydrochloride just signifies that something is a salt of that particular substance, such as Pyridine Hydrochloride. So, medically they are unrelated. Do you have any other questions? ## I find that whenever I buy a medication or a vitamin I have to check if it contains hydrochloride.. if it does I have to avoid it because within a couple of days I have a terrible burning sensation in my gut apart from zantac and slippery elm is there anything else I can do to ease the pain

What is hydrochloride? Is it time release or is it just to keep the pill togeather? I've taken other percecets and they never said hydrochloride in them. ## Hello, SweetPea! How are you? It just designates the specific chemical salt that the Oxycodone was derived from, so it's actually Oxycodone Hydrochloride. Though you don't see it listed on all prescription levels, all medications do including such chemical designations in the names. This tablet contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. It is listed by the FDA 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

So I just got tramadol and it says that it has hydrochloride in it. Is it opioid-based? I read the instructions and it said they are a narcotic. ## Hi Nancy, According to Wikipedia, hydrochloride is defined as an acid salt. This is not opioid-derived from what I can tell. In the pharmaceutical field, my understanding is that the presence of hydrochloride acts as a catalyst for better absorption / bioavailability. For this reason, hydrochloride exists in a myriad of drug formulations (including non-narcotics). However, there are reports of individuals being hypersensitive to hydrochloride and noting that they should try to avoid it whenever possible. These patients may be few and far between, but if in doubt I would encourage you to contact your pharmacy just to be on the safe side. I ho...

Mine says for pain and mood. In what way would this help pain? Or maybe I should rephrase what is in it to relieve pain? ## Hello, Suzette! How are you? It can help with some types of nerve pain, due to it's action in the brain. Many people have had good luck with these types of medications, which means they can avoid resorting to possibly habit forming narcotics. Thus, there's nothing else special in it, it's the Venlafaxine itself that can help. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

small yellow one side has 445 and the other side has h13 ## Well, for the h13, you are looking at the pill upside down. That is actually an ETH, the logo for the pharmaceutical company Ethex. That said, ETH 445 is Oxycodone 15mgs, a generic for Roxicodone, which is a regular release formulation of the narcotic. Some of the side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, constipation and dry mouth.

inn combination with Dextropropoxyphene Napsilate IP ## You are't going to find Dicyclomine combined with the narcotic Dextropropoxyphene. Learn more Dicyclomine details here. Learn more Dextropropoxyphene details here. Derivatives of Propoxyphene have been removed from the market in most countries, due to the severe risk they caused of cardiac dangers, thus you won't even find it available from most compounding pharmacies. This would also be a very unusual combination. Why are you looking for it?

How long does hydromorphone and hydrochloride remain in your bloodstream before being metabolized? ## Hello, Chucky! How are you? Hydromorphone Hydrochloride is actually just one substance, not two. The Hydrochloride just designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from. It usually only takes about 11.5 to 15.6 hours, but that could increase to 40 hours, if someone has renal impairment. 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 type of syringe is correct as well as dosage equivalents? Can you administer this type by iv? ## Hello, Porvidavela! How are you? No, oral medications should only be taken orally as they may contain substances that are not safe for using in such a manner, such as fillers, sugars or etc. that may be dangerous. 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. This dosage is 100mg per teaspoon, or 20mg per fifth of a teaspoon. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does this medication have the potential for addiction and abuse? ## Amrix (cyclobenzaprine) is a potent pain killer which works by supressing the central nervous system. It has an additive effect with alcohol, and long half life which means high risk for overdose. This drug is very dangerous and should not be used other than how prescribed. ## I'm sorry, but that is not correct. Amrix does contain the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, but it is just a muscle relaxant, it is used to help treat the muscle pain that's associated with sprains, strains and spasms. Thus, it is not a potent pain killer and it isn't known to be addictive or have a high risk of overdose. Learn more Cyclobenzaprine details here. The abuse of any medication can be dangerous, but this is not a narcotic...

My mother brought to my attention that anything with the word "hydro" in any medication could be a narcotic. I have a family history of drug abusers and don't want to follow in their steps so I would appriciate it if someone could answer this clearly as possible for me. Thank you for your time. ## Hi Ghost - to answer your question, no, Bupropion Hydrobromide is not a narcotic. It is an antidepressant (in a different class of drugs). The term "Hydro" in this case is from chemistry and refers to a chemical compound of this medication. Wikipedia states "In chemistry, a hydrobromide is an acid salt resulting, or regarded as resulting, from the reaction of hydrobromic acid with an organic base (e.g. an amine). The compounds are similar to hydrochlorides." I imagi...

on one of my prescriptions on the bottle it says OXYCODON HCL-APAP 10/325 and the pill is oblong. I had them refilled and the bottle says OXYCODONE-APAP 10-325 and the pill is round. So what I want to know is what the HCL stands for and are these the same medications? ## Hello, Anne! How are you? Yes, they are the same. The HCL just stands for Hydrochloride and designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, they just didn't include it on the one label. 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.
