Hydrocodone Uses
Hydrocodone relieves pain. Acetaminophen is a less
potent pain reliever that increases the effects of
hydrocodone. Together, acetaminophen and
hydrocodone are most commonly used to relieve
moderate-to-severe pain. Acetaminophen and
hydrocodone may also be used for purposes other
than those listed here.
How to Take Hydrocodone
Take acetaminophen and hydrocodone exactly as
directed by your doctor. Take each dose with a
full glass of water. Take acetaminophen and
hydrocodone with food or milk if it upsets your
stomach. Never take more of this medication than
is prescribed for you. Too much acetaminophen and
hydrocodone could be very harmful. Do not stop
taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone suddenly if
you have been taking it continuously for more than
5 to 7 days. Stopping suddenly could cause
withdrawal symptoms and make you feel
uncomfortable. Your doctor may want to gradually
reduce your dose.
Hydrocodone Possible Side Effects
Stop taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone and seek
emergency medical attention if you experience any
of the following: an allergic reaction (difficulty
breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of
your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); slow, weak
breathing; seizures; cold, clammy skin; severe
weakness or dizziness; unconsciousness; yellowing
of the skin or eyes; or unusual fatigue, bleeding,
or bruising. Less serious side effects may be more
likely to occur. Talk to your doctor about any
side effect that seems unusual or that is
especially bothersome.
Hydrocodone Precautions
Hydrocodone is habit forming and should only be
used under close supervision if you have an
alcohol or drug addiction. Before taking this
medication, tell your doctor if you have kidney
disease; liver disease; asthma; urinary retention;
an enlarged prostate; hypothyroidism; seizures
epilepsy; gallbladder disease; a head injury; or
Addison's disease. Do not take this medication
without first talking to your doctor if you are
pregnant or breast-feeding a baby. If you are
younger than 18 years of age or older than 60
years of age, you may be more likely to experience
side effects from acetaminophen and hydrocodone
therapy. Use extra caution.
Hydrocodone Drug Interactions
Do not take acetaminophen and hydrocodone if you
have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI)
such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil),
or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days.
Dangerous side effects could result. The most
serious interactions affecting acetaminophen and
hydrocodone are with those drugs that also cause
sedation. Numerous drugs may lead to dangerous
sedation if taken with acetaminophen and
hydrocodone: Talk to your doctor and pharmacist
before taking any prescription or over the counter
medicines. Many other drugs contain acetaminophen,
especially over-the-counter pain, fever, cold, and
allergy medications.
Hydrocodone Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Do
not take a double dose of this medication. Wait
the prescribed amount of time before taking your
next dose.
Hydrocodone Storage
Store at room temperature away from moisture and
heat. Keep this and all medications out of the
reach of children.
Notes
Avoid alcohol while taking acetaminophen and
hydrocodone. Alcohol will greatly increase the
drowsiness and dizziness caused by acetaminophen
and hydrocodone and could be dangerous. Also,
acetaminophen can damage your liver if you drink
three or more alcoholic beverages a day. Avoid
sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives, and
antihistamines except under the supervision of
your doctor. These medications also may cause
dangerous sedation. Do not share acetaminophen and
hydrocodone with others for whom it was not
prescribed, since they may have a problem that is
not effectively treated by this drug. |
