That would depend on the strength of the hydrocodone. I have been taking 10mg hydros since January, so my body is pretty accustomed to them. I have found that I don't need the hydros with the tussionex as much because the tussionex also helps with the pain (I have fibromyalga and bronchitis at the moment). I did take one of the hydros about four hours after my last dose of the tussionex and didn't notice any real side effects, other than being a little more sleepy and out of it than I had been. Just be careful if you have any breathing issues because both med's can aggravate them. I wouldn't take both unless you take the hydros regularly though- I think the only reason I wasn't completely incoherent was because I've been taking the hydros regularly for a while. My doctor didn't tell me not to take the hydros with it though, so if you're still in pain I don't think it should be a problem.
1 tsp. tussionex has 10mg (.01g) hydrocodone, which is the equivilent of 2 vicodin. I don't know how much chlorpheniramine is in one tsp. NOT EXACTLY TRUE. One teaspoon does contain the equivalent of 2 vicodin of hydrocodone; however, in Tussionex, the hydrocodone is released over a period of 12 hours. Therefore, over 12 hours, 10 mg of hydrocodone is released. If you were to take 2 vicodin, you'd have 10mg of hydrocodone released immediately and when you take 2 more in 4 more hours, you'd have a total of 20 mg of hydrocodone released. With Tussionex, in that same 8 hours, you will have only realized 8mg of hydrocodone. It's the time release that causes the changes....
Yes depends how much o.c tho
Yes.
depends on the test, but yes, approx. detection time for hydrocodone in urine is 2-5 days and your body metabolize it for 6-12 hours after taking it
Tussionex contains two active ingredients: chlorphenamine and hydrocodone.Hydrocodone has a half life of between 4 to 6 hours.Chlorphenamine, on the other hand, has a half life of over 20 hours.
Twelve hours
If you are referring to taking medication every 12 hours, I would think "twice a day" or "bidaily" would be sufficient expressions in a medical setting. Some prescribers prefer to write q12h for "every twelve hours."
