Avatar f tn My brother is on welfare and the doctors at the clinic have given him the following meds. Tramadol 50 mg, Trazadone 50mg,Amitriptyline 10mg, cyclobenzaprine 10mg, Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/500mg. In addition he was also given medication for Diabetes Type II, metformin 850 mg, glipizide 5mg, lisinopril 5 mg, simvastatin 20mg, Asprin 81 mg, Ranitidine 150 mg. Additionally he was also prescribed Naproxen 500mg and Alumina Magnesia 360 ml. I think this is too much medication. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn today and I have been perscribed hydrocodone in the past to treat chronic lumbosacral pain. How is Oxycodone 5mg compared to Hydrocodone? I take Hydrcodone 5/500 APAP. Is Oxycodone a good alternative to Hydrocodone? What are your experiences?
Avatar f tn I had a cramp last night I took some pain killer Hydrocodone/apap 5mg/500mg tabs just one,I puke up,I take something else call Alpalide Nimesulide tablets...I mean can cause me have miscarriage..is my baby will be ok,and the bleeding early won't hurt my baby too..
Avatar f tn When the medication amount says 5/500 that means 5mg is the hydro and 500mg is the acetomenophene. Usually with 5mg pills your prescribed 2 pills equaling 10mg hydro and 1,000mg apap every 4-8 hours depending on your DR's preference. When I first started taking them I had no idea what those numbers ment and always thought the same thing.

Avatar m tn However normally you can take an opiate with a NSAID. Hydrocodone tablets usually contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). Does your hydrocodone contain apap and if so how much? Normally I would suggest you ask a pharmacist but on Christmas you will be hard pressed to find one. You may call your local ER and ask that question. When I worked in ER it was common to receive those types of questions. I assume you are in pain and I am sorry for that. Good luck and keep in touch.
Avatar m tn I would say its more likely he would need to go to the hospital for APAP toxicity than hydrocodone overdose. APAP (tylenol) is mixed with the hydrocodone and is not good for the liver in high doses. Just tell him not to go crazy and make sure he doesn't mix with alcohol or other drugs (besides weed), and he should remain alive. Might end up with a wicked addiction though!
Avatar m tn If a person has been taking hydrocodone for over 5 years and specifically 6 500/50 hydrocodone/apap per day for at least the last 7 months, will there always be withdrawal symptoms? There was no tapering, only a brief two week change to Nuerontin (low dose) for two weeks and then that was increased for another two weeks. After the nuerontin for a total of a month it was cold turkey.
1064524 tn?1257199755 t your doctor just put you on 5mg. Oxycodone or 7.5 mg Hydrocodone without any acetaminophen for breakthrough pain? If you are being prescribed the acetaminophen for the anti-inflammatory properties there are other drugs that can be prescribed in addition to the narcotics. I am suggesting this because as I stated my enzymes were only slightly elevated and I began to feel pain and tenderness in the abdomen around the liver.
Avatar n tn My 77 year old mother has been using Hydrocodone APAP 10/325 or 10/500mg for many years to take the edge off of severe RA. Her dosage is 1/1 PO TID which she has been very compliant and adheres to faithfully. During her last lab visit her M.D. had ordered a UDS along with the other labs. Her anxiolytic medication XANAX came back pusitive yet her opiate panel came back clean.
Avatar n tn the bottle says hydrocodone / apap 15/80 . it was my old pain mgt. dr . my new dr gave me 5mg/500 acetaminophen and it doesnt seem to be the same.
Avatar n tn 5 and 10 mg tablets that includes acetaminophen. So the prescription will read 5/750 apap. That is 5mg of hydrocodone and 750 mg of (apap) acetaminophen. Sandee has provided you with some good information from the National Pain Foundation. I also suggest that you discuss this with your prescribing physician. He/she may have some thoughts as to the best approach for you. I saw an acupuncturist for awhile who sold me a supply of herbal products that were to help reduce my pain.
Avatar n tn Probably not an ideal situation to take meds that are expired.
Avatar n tn the first number is the mg of hydrocodone and the second # is the amount of tylenol.10 mg of hydrocodone/650 mg acetaminophen (tylenol). are you taking them?
Avatar f tn I just started on Zohydro ER because the idea of not taking acetaminophen with hydrocodone was tempting. (There's a Black Box warning about the acetaminophen in Vicodin). The first day I started the Z. (about 5 days ago) I got less pain relief and much more pain than I had with 5/375 Vicodin! That's seems totally wrong but it happened. The dose of the Z is the same as I got for the number of 5/375s I took per day. Anyone else on Z. and how do you like it? Any side effects?
Avatar f tn Hello everyone...wishing you all the best...certainly better than I'm feeling lately. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since I stopped taking 5mg-500mg Hydrocodone/APAP (Vicodin) 4-8 tablets per day for the past 6 years. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Low Back Pain and a bunch of other medical issues that I've been dealing with for several years. Because of allergies and sensitivities to many medications, I pretty much ended up on Vicodin as a last resort.
Avatar f tn Percocet is the brand name of the generic drug oxycodone and acetaminophen and Vicodin is a brand name of the generic drug Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Both oxycodone and Hydrocodone is a narcotic drug and are often used in combination with acetaminophen or APAP, a no steroidal anti inflammatory drug which helps in increasing their potency.
Avatar f tn 2 wont do anything to you. 1 vicodin has 500mg of acetominophen which is tylenol, and 5mg of hydrocodon which is an opiate. Your pretty much taking 1 pill of tylenol and 5 mg of hydrocodone when you pop 1 vicodin. Its almost no different from taking tylenol since the hydrocodone dose is so low. When i had my wisdom teeth pulled out i took about 8 every day. but i can take up to 15 vicodin and feel nothing, but thats my problem.
Avatar m tn MY DOG WEEZES, CHOCKS AND CANT BREATH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT CAN GO ON FOR HOURS ON END OR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT'S TERRIBLE TO WATCH. I FILL THAT MY DOG MAY BE SUFFERING. IF SHE EXCERTS HER SELF THIS CAN HAPPEN, BUT MOSTLY AT NIGHT AND IT CAN GO ON ALL NIGHT SO BAD YOU WANT TO TAKE HER TO A HOSPITAL. SHE HAS BEEN ON AMOXI 500MG 2-TIMES A DAY WITH VERY LITTLE HELP. SHE'S BEEN ON HYDROCODONE 5MG WITH VERY LITTLE HELP.
Avatar f tn At about 18, for the FMS, I was switched to Lortab (Hydrocodone) 5/500. I am still to this day on Lortab 5/500, though since I was about 20, it has been no more than one 5/500 mg tablet per day to help me sleep through the pain. Normally I take between 1/2 to 3/4 of a pill. Additionally, I am on Celexa.
Avatar n tn can you take a generic medicine called hydroco/apap , if you take coumadin?
Avatar f tn The Vicodin 1500 mg is the APAP (Tylenol) what is the hydrocodone dose? It would be 5mg, 7.5mg, or 10mg.
