I would like to know if you have to have a prescription for Acetaminophen, Caffeine, Chlorpheniramine, Hydrocodone,or Phenylephrine? ## Well for a couple of the individual ingredients (such as Caffeine and Acetaminophen) you don't because they are over the counter. But for Hydrocodone or this actual combination of meds then I would say yes, definitely... ## The Doctors are so scared of abuse here that in our small town they will not give you narcotics unless you have been in a serious wreck or have bad kidney stones. I had a stone once and was given just Darvocet. My husband has Degenerative Disc Disease and an irritated joint that flares up every now and again in being treated with Lortab 10's and Diazepam. but he lost his job to cut-backs and his insurance, so he lost his Nero...

I just wanted to know how much hydrocodone is in this stuff and what the other two components do. I have a one year old and need to be functional so is it the same as taknig a 7.5 mg lortab or 5mg or even less than that? ## which component am I allergic to? redness, itching, fast pulse,headache. ## From what I'm finding, Histinex-HC is listed as containing 2.5mgs of Hydrocodone, 5mgs of Phenylephrine and 2mgs of Chlorpheniramine, per 5ml teaspoon. You can find more Hydrocodone details here and there are more Phenylephrine details here and you can find more Chlorpheniramine details here. So, it is a very low dose and really not equivalent to Lortab or Vicodin, at all. And Martha, did you consult your doctor? That's really the only way to determine which ingredient may be causing...
