Dosage And Equivallancy

Updated

I recently, had my med changed from vicodin 7.5mg 5xqd to lortab 10-500mg tablet. 5xqd question is, "Is the lortab a higher dose of medication than the vicodin.

Lortab and Vicodin both contain Hydrocodone, a synthetic opiate or opioid, as their narcotic analgesic. As such, your dosage strength increase is only in the amount of pills you are now taking, not in the opioid ingredient. Oxycodone, used in Percocets and OxyContin, is slightly stronger . . . a 5/325 Perc is equivalent to a 7.5 Lortab. I am not gonna go into the added NSAIDs like THVQEDylenol, ASAP, or aspirin on this question. The best of luck and the least of pain to you . . . Q

Vicodin and Lortab both contain Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so you were taking 7.5mgs of the Hydrocodone and your dosage has been raised to 10mgs of the Hydrodone. Thus, yes you are taking a stronger dosage.
