First aid certifications do not allow giving any medications. Acetaminophen is not an emergency drug, and shouldn't be part of any first aid procedure.
Also, be careful with dose. The correct dose for acetaminophen is 15 mg/kg. If giving this 500 mg dose to a small child, it can be toxic and cause liver failure.

No, 7.5 Lortab is not the same as 500 mg Lortab. Lortab is a combination medication that contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. The "7.5" refers to the dosage of hydrocodone in milligrams, while "500 mg" refers to the dosage of acetaminophen in the combination. Therefore, a 7.5 Lortab contains 7.5 mg of hydrocodone and 500 mg of acetaminophen.
Pain-relief tablets which contain 500 milligrams of paracetamol - also known as acetaminophen.
Look at the label on your prescription. It probably says something like 5/500. The 5 represents 5 mg of vicodin and the 500 represents 500 mg of acetaminophen. The maximum daily dose of acetamiophen for adults is 4 grams (4000 mg).
The only difference is the brand. They both have hydrocodone (a narcotic) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). The first number in the 10/650 and the 10/500 is the amount of hydrocodone, and the second number is the amount of acetaminophen. So probably the reason the Lortab isn't working as well is the lower amount of acetaminophen. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if you can take an extra Tylenol tablet with it.
