Not necessarily.
Vicodin is a combination of hydocodone and acetaminophen/paracetamol(APAP).
Vicodin is available in:
5mg hydrocodone / 500mg APAP
7.5mg hydrocodone / 750mg APAP
10mg hydrocodone / 660mg APAP
Therefore, if you take one 10mg pill containing 660mg APAP instead of taking two 5mg pills each containing 500mg APAP for a combined total of 1000mg APAP, you will, in essence, be receiving less of a drug that reduces inflamation and assists in relieving pain.
In addition, ingesting too much APAP will cause great stress to your liver, so when managing severe pain you may want to monitor that.
Moreover, taking one 5mg pill at one time then another 5mg pill at a later time will NOT heed the same results as taking two 5mg pills at the same time. (half lives, metabolic absorbtion, etc.)
Well, you're just taking with the 2 5-500's, 10mg hydrocodone, 1000mg acetaminophen, where as with the 10-500 you're taking 10mg hydrocodone, 500mg acetaminophen. If you're doctor says it's the same, he/she is an idiot.

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.
vicodin 5-500 has the same amount of narcotic pain medication as the norco 5-325. The vicodin has 175 more milligrams of tylenol.
M363 Vicodin is a 10 mg / 500 mg hydrocodone / acetaminophen.
Not much, but if you take the vicodin regularly you are a tad bit of the adderall feeling the more vic's you take.

Depends on the type of vicodin. Generic vicodin ES contains 7.5 mgs of hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen.
5 mg w 500 mg aspirin
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).
Although both are pain killers oxy is percocet and hydro is vicodin/lortab. They are 2 different drugs with oxy being stronger
