@paperwork,

Please see the following responses to each of your corresponding questions & concerns quoted below:

1: "what is hydrocodone acetaminophen 5 325 used for and medrol" - Hydrocodone / Acetaminophen is used for treating/masking pain. Medrol (Methylprednisolone) on the other hand has a wide variety of uses, such as treating inflammation, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and much more.

2: "explain to me how these will work together" - As noted above, Medrol has many different uses; but only you can decide if it's actually helping or not in combination with the Hydrocodone / Acetaminophen.

3: "the medrol have fatal side effect" - All drugs carry the risk of side effects. That just means you'll have to eventually decide if the risk is worth the benefit.

4: "just concern about taken both together" - According to umm.edu's (University of Maryland Medical Center) drug interaction checker there are no problems listed between Hydrocodone / Acetaminophen and Medrol (Methylprednisolone). However, I'd still encourage you to discuss this with your prescribing doctor to ensure your safety and well-being.

5: "am also a diabetic that makes sugar gos up" - Are you saying that the medications are contributing to the diabetes? I'm not sure I understand you clearly on that. Maybe it would be a good idea to test your levels after each dose of either medication in order to better determine the culprit.

I hope this helps!
