Given your complicated medical history, it is very important that you only take medications as prescribed by your doctor. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. They are, however, safe to cut, since this formulation is not available as time released.

My husband got his finger cut off yesterday and the doctor gave him 7.5 hydrocoden. And its been hour and half and he is in pain. I was wondering if advil woukd be ok to give him to help him out. The bottle says he can take two but he dont want to take 2 he took one. Thank you ## @Charlena, Sorry to hear about your husband's mishap. I can't imagine how excruciating that must've been or how it may be affecting him psychologically... Though it sounds like he's in good hands with you looking after his treatment regimen. I just wanted to add that taking ibuprofen with hydrocodone/apap is generally regarded as safe. They actually make a hydrocodone/ibuprofen drug combination by the name of Vicoprofen. And as far as my personal experience goes, I've never had any issues ta...

I am on 5-325. 7.5-325 is more expensive. can I cut a pill in half to get the 7.5 ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? No, that's not a good idea, because you will also get more Acetaminophen that way. You should only do that, if your doctor approves. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## the hydrocodone even of 5 milligrams makes me so drowsy and dizzy and makes my hands jump and click and vibrate so badly I can't wait to get off of it Kathy

We are on vacation in Australia. My daughter cut her finger badly and received stitches at a local 24 hour clinic. No pain meds were prescribed for her. She is having tremendous pain; I have given her paracetamol according to the instructions today, but it's not enough. I have some hydrocodone acetaminophen 7.5 - 325 for knee pain I have. Any recommendation about giving her one of my pills to help her sleep tonight, or maybe even half a pill? I have emailed the clinic for directions but they will take 24+ hours to get back to me and she'd like to use one tonight. ## It's according to how old your daughter is. If she's an adult one will not hurt her for pain because that's what they prescribe me when they pulled my tooth. They are mild pain meds so 1 every 6-8 hours i...

Hello: I'm 62 yr. old man, taking Hydrochlorothiazide & Metoprolol for high blood pressure. Have moderate to severe osteoarthritis and recently had an auto accident with a bad case of whiplash. Dr. is prescribing 5-325 hydrocodone for pain in back & neck (I weight 265-270). 1 every 8 hrs. Some days it works ok but never eliminates the pain..... Should I cut them in half and take every 4 hrs? Am afraid od getting addicted. By the way, I've previously been told by same Dr that I do NOT have an addictive personality.... I don't understand. I hate taking any medication. How about people that have to take similar meds for long term pain care... can they avoid becoming addicted?... I'm concerned due to the fact that I was just told this week that the arthritis in my sp...

Foot surgery, took one pill 5/325 rapid pulse, blurry vision small headache. Only lasted for about half hour. ## Hello, Kate! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you had. Which medication are you asking about? There are several available in that dosage. Generally, if it isn't time released, you can cut or break it in half, but you can't do so with something that is time released, because that creates the risk of your getting too much of the active ingredients at once. 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. ## M365 is on the all white oblong pill (Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen) 5-325 from my L4-L5 back surgery.

Can I take a half of hydrocodone acetaminophen 10/325 because I already had 4 extra strength tylenals today? ## Hello, Jessica! How are you? Yes, they can be cut in half, they are not time released. Just be careful not to exceed 3,000mgs of Acetaminophen a day, unless your doctor instructs otherwise and no more than 1,000mgs every 8 hours. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

My elderly mother has shingles and was give hydrocodone 5mg with 325 mg acetaminophen. Can i give her half a tablet every three hours instead of a full tablet every six hours to cut down on the possibility of dizziness and falling? ## You need to wait 4 hrs because of the tylenol. ## And it really should be dosed as prescribed by her doctor. Has she experienced dizziness from it? If so, you could try giving her half a tablet every 4 to 6 hours, if her doctor approves. 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.

hydrocodone-apap 7.5 325 Is the 7.5 hydrocodone on one side of the pill and the 325 acetaminophen on the other? Can I take half a pill if I chose to or do I need to take a whole pill? ## No, that's not the way it works, both medications are equally distributed throughout the tablet. And yes, you can cut them in half, if necessary unless your doctor or pharmacist has given you some specific reason that you shouldn't do so. Learn more Vicodin details here. 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.

white oblong pill, with nothing on one side a IP 110 on the other. He was told it was a vicodin. The oblong white pill has a small slash across the pill for easy to cut in half. ## Hi Chrissie, That is correct. The imprint "ip 110" is identified as Vicodin 325/10; which is a combination of two types of pain medicine to treat moderate to severe pain. For verification, the National Drug Code (NDC) for this pill is: 53746-0110 Learn More: Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone Details I hope this helps!

My Doc prescribed me 15 mg of Morphine. Ive been on vicodin 7.5 mg for three years. How much of a difference is morphine? I took half of the blue pill just now. ## The Morphine is stronger than the Hydrocodone in the Vicodin, it is also a straight narcotic, without the Acetaminophen that is in the Vicodin. It sounds like your doctor is trying to help you get better control of your pain. The main issue here is, what type of Morphine pills are they? If they are the time released version, generics for MS Contin, then cutting the pill in half could be very dangerous and should not be done. It can cause you to have too much of the medication released at once. The side effects are similar and may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

I need to know what these 3 pills are? Each pill is white with a dividing line where the pill could be cut in half on one side and M367 stamped on the back side. Three prescribed pills have been misplaced and we are wondering if a bag of 3 pills could be the ones that are lost. ## These tablets contain 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin or Lortab, this is a narcotic analgesic. Learn more Lortab details here. Does that match what the missing pills were? ## You didn't think to use Google??? Something isn't adding up. If your meds were prescribed to you, you would already know what the markings were. Sounds more like you got the pills off of the street or from a "friend" and now you're trying to verify that they're in...

Which Is Stronger Hydrocodone Apap 5mg 500mg Or 10 325 ## Hi Kim, I can't really tell you if one will be stronger or not since medications can affect everyone differently, some people get great results from taking, but there are others that it doesn't work for; the only way to find out is to actually try it. If I were to make an assumption though, I'd say that the 10/325 combination may be more effective, since the amount of Hydrocodone is doubled and the amount is Acetaminophen is not completely cut in half in comparison to the 5/500 combination. I wasn't able to find a list of all the various dosages that are available for Hydrocodone + Acetaminophen. So it could be that my assumption is wrong, but none the less, you'd have to try them both and compare the effects ...

On the Qualitest pill V 35 92 which side contains hydrocodone, the 35 or the 92? ## Neither side contains it, the active ingredients are evenly mixed throughout the tablet, if you cut it in half, you would get a half a dose of both the Acetaminophen and the Hydrocodone. This is a generic for Vicodin, side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more: Are there any other comments or questions?

I found a white round pill that looks like a percocet blank on one side but its cut in half so I can read all the number all I can see is a symbol looking like this & and the numbers 60. Not really sure what it is. ## Hi Tasha, With only half a pill/imprint all we can really do is speculate here, but this pill does seem similar to an "M360" generic Norco tablet by Mallinckrodt, which contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone + 750mg of Acetaminophen (a dosage they don't make anymore due to new restrictions on the amount of Acetaminophen companies can use). So if this is your pill by chance, then it would've been manufactured prior to Jan 2014 when this law went into effect. And even if this isn't your pill, I think it may still be worth contacting Mallinckrodt directly to s...
