There is no Acetaminophen/Hydrocodone tablet with a 10.5mg dosing of the Hydrocodone, the maximum available is 10mgs.

Now as to which is stronger if the dosage of the Hydrocodone is the same in both, the strongest would be the one with the most Acetaminophen, since it potentiates the Hydrocodone.

Very similar to shopping, where higher numbers mean a higher price, higher numbers when it comes to drugs mean a higher potency. I just wanted to add this here to give a clear example, since medication dosing can be very confusing.

Learn more Lortab details here.

And to add another note, the amount of Acetaminophen in all of these combination prescription products is being lowered to a maximum of 325mgs per dose. The FDA has requested that this be done due to the risk of liver damage or failure that can be associated with long-term use of high doses and the risk of overdose toxicity.

Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the change and the rest are supposed to have it done by January of 2014.

So, in the future, it will be easier to know which has the higher dose, since all will contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen and you'll only have to look at the amount of the Hydrocodone that's in them.

In Lisa's case, it could actually be the lap banding that has more effect on the medication, rather than crushing it. It can cause you to not absorb as much of it as you should. Anyone in a similar situation should consult their doctors, as you may need to switch to a different medication or a different formulation of it.

Are there any other questions or comments? Is there anything else I can help with?
