liquid to be taken for tremor ## Corresponding Page: Butisol.asp BUTABARBITAL (Butisol®) is a barbiturate that slows down activity of the brain and nervous system.

My son had his tonsils removed on 6/2/2009. He has been on this medication for 10 days for severe ear pain/throat pain especially before eating/sleeping. Is this drug addictive? Should I be concerned that he is still taking? My husband is more concerned. I would like to trust physician's recommendation in that they would not prescribe for so long if it were a concern. I need a second opinion please. ## When I worked pain management in a very large hospital in Atlanta, I was taught that if you take the medicine for pain, there is almost no risk for addiction. If, however, he is taking it for a "feeling" then there is an issue. True pain needs to be treated. I hope this helps.

had prescribed for broken jaw and need to know exactly what it is ## My son is taking Hydorcodone elx for tonsilectomy and I'm wondering what some side effects may be. He is having trouble eating unless he takes the medicine but I've been giving it to him every 6 hours for 7 days and I'm afraid he'll become addicted. ## APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen, Hydrocodone is a narcotic pain reliever. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I have found Qualitest hydrocodone to be superior to all other brands.

I have several hydroc/apap prescriptions (syrup), and I can't remember if they are cough suppressants or not. I don't want to take it for my back pain if it is a cough syrup. I can't swallow pills, so I get the syrup form, and I don't want to take a cough syrup. The liquid is yellowish. Can anyone help me decipher the label? What does ELXQUAL mean? Also, how strong is one teaspoon...what pill strength would you compare it to. ## Hydrocodone with APAP (Acetaminophen) is used to treat both pain, and as a cough suppressant. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and dry mouth. The other abbreviations just stand for the type of mix, and the manufacturer. How much have you bee...

I was perscribed Bella ALK/PB ELX Qualitest over a year ago now for my severe cases of acid reflex, does this medication expire because I do not see an expiration date on the perscription ## All medications expire, due to the fact that they will eventually lost potency. For tablets, in the U.S. it is one year from the date your prescription is filled. It is even shorter for liquids, that means that your is probably long past its expiration date. Have you talked to your doctor about getting a new one?

I have 150 ML of Hydrocodone/APAP ELX that expired in 12/06. It has not been opened since then and has been kept at a constant room temp. Is it still safe to use for my bursitis and other muscle pains....??? ## Hello, Dlanor! How are you? No, it is long expired after that many years. Liquids degrade faster than other forms of medications and slowly lost potency. Not only will it no longer be very effective, but there's also a chance that it has turned and could make you very ill, if you take it. 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. If you need pain relief, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with...

I Found a blottle that read HYDROCODOE/APAP ELX PMA I was just curious as to how strong it was, it's yellow..If that matters any. ## I'm thinking the "ELX" probably stands for Elixir, which is liquid. And from what I could gather, Hydrocodone Bitartrate + Acetaminophen Oral Solutions come in dosages of: 7.5 mg/500 mg per 15 mL. I noticed that this dosage has yellow dye in it as well if that helps: "In addition, the liquid contains the following inactive ingredients: ammoniated glyyerrhizin, dibasic sodium phosphate, citric acid, ethyl maltol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, purified water, saccharin sodium, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, sodium gluconate, sorbitol solution, with D&C Yellow No. 10 and FD&C Yellow No. 6 as coloring, and natural and art...
