A Hydrocodone pill usually has mixed with it Acetaminophen (chemical name is Paracetamol outside U.S., U.S. brand name Tylenol). Hydrocodone is a strong narcotic (Schedule II in U.S.) that suppressed the entire nervous system and also acts as a cough suppressant. Acetaminophen is included as a milder pain reliever (analgesic) to provide different effects. Hydrocodone is not sold alone in the U.S.
The Hydrocodone/Acetaminphen pill (aka Hydrocodone/APAP) is described with two numbers. The first number, for example 5 mg, gives the amount (strength) of the Hydrocodone. It is followed by another number, for example 500 mg, that gives the amount of the Acetaminophen.
So your question asked if Hydrocodone pills can include more than 500 mg of Acetaminophen?
The answer is YES.
Typically the pill comes in doses of 5mg/500mg, 7.5mg/750mg, and even 10mg/1000mg. However pharmaceutical manufacturers can formulate pills in other combinations to increase the drug's effect and/or reduce health risks.
10/500 is the same strength of Vicodin (Hydrocodone) as 10/500.
Vicodin 5-500 has 5mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of acetaminophen (tylenol). However Vicodin 10-500 has 10mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of acetaminophen. The only difference is the 10-500 has 5mg more than the other one. its stronger by 2x.
Hydrocodone apap 7.5 and 500 are refering to the strength of the medication. 5.00 is obviously less than the 7.5. And the difference between them and the loratab 10 is still the dosage. Loratab is another name for hydrocodone and the 10 is just a stronger dosage.
It is a 10/500 Hydrocodone tablet. It has 10 mgs of Hydrocodone, and 500 mgs of Acetaminophen (Tylenol). It's personally my favorite 10 mg Hydrocodone pill. :)
10mg is the strongest prescribed. There are different variations such as 10/325, 10/500, 10/660, and I think the make a 10/750. The larger numbers are the acetaminophen combined with the hydrocodone.
The 10 represents the amount of hydrocodone in the pill. The 325 represents the amount of tylenol. So, the difference between a 7.5 and a 10 is, a 10 has a whopping 2.5mg more hydrocodone than the 7.5! Personally in my opinion, I really dont get the whole '7.5' deal. Just make it 7 or 8, sheesh, like the .5 makes a huge difference. Anyway, hope I helped.
I'm not a doctor, but I have taken these pills alot. The 10mg has more hydrocode than the 7.5. 10 is greater than 7.5 The 325 referrs to the acteminophen content. The 7.5 hydrocodone has 750 mg of acetiminophen. People who take alot of hydrocodone prefer to take less acteminophen as it can hurt your liver by taking alot of acteminophen each day.
Hydrocodone 10/500 apap is obiously vicoden with 10mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of Tylenol/acetaminofen. The other numbers are just inscription codes to identify the pill. That is if your sure it is hydrocodone. Usually they will say m360 or Watson or other types. Hydrocodone 10/500 is usually knon a Lortab.
Everyone is different , but generally oxycodone is better.
Yes. They are both comprised of the narcotic hydrocodone. A lortab10 is 10mg and lorcet plus is 7.5.
A dollar
Hydrocodone 10/500
10mg is the highest. i'm pretty sure they have 10-325 and 10-500 and 10-750 but the only difference is the amount of tylenol. its still 10mg of the opiates. if you want something stronger, its percocet. oxycodone instead of hydrocodone.
