Can you mix acetaminophen and vicodin?

ALWAYS check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking any Medications. CVN, Walgreens or any chain or Mom & Pop Pharmacist would be glad to give you advice based on your particular condition.

Vicodin is a Narcotic pain releiver in the opioid family it has "Hydrocodone" as an active ingredient, it also has a NSAID named "acetaminophen" in it (main ingredient in Tylenol).

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin group of drugs. It fights bacteria in your body and is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria. It will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or Flu.

These medicines do not perform the same function and should not affect the same systems. The Pain medicine is going to act on your CNS (Central nervous system). You should not take more than the doctor prescribed, because you can relax your breathing too much and go into what is called respitory depression, and die.

Some people think they can abuse the drug "Hydrocodone" because they feel okay and have takin it for a while, but they too can fall asleep and basically stop breathing and die as a result.

These medicines should be safe to take together. Dentists give these medicine together for conditions such as an abscessed tooth. The antibiotic will treat infection and the pain medicine will subside the pain while the antibiotic is working on what is causing the pain. So idealy by the time you finish your pain medicine then you shouldn't need it anymore, because the infection should be treated enough for the dentist to work on your tooth. They don't like to work on your teeth when there is an infection because bacteria can enter the bloodstream and attack the heart.

Again, always check with qualified people for your particular situation and all medications you are taking.

How many hours apart can you take vicodin?

Alright it appears that someone didn't like my last answer so here you go, Vicodin is a strong, short term, fast acting analgesic (pain reliever). It is intended for the immediate relief of moderate to severe pain. It is not intended for long-term use due to the fact that patients quickly build up a tolerance to the medication requiring more frequent dosing and eventually higher dosages. It is also not intended for long-term use due to is addictive nature and high abuse rate. The problem with long-term use is that patients experience withdraw symptoms when stopping the medication.

What schedule is vicodin?

In The United States oxycodone is a schedule II drug (C-II) under The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) indicating it has a high potential for abuse, psychological dependency, or physical dependency however it currently has an accepted medical use. Schedule II is the highest level of control for legally available drugs, schedule I drugs are illegal. Other examples of C-II drugs are Fentanyl, Cocaine, Morphine, Methadone, Methamphetamine, Amhpetamine and Secobarbital.

In Canada oxycodone is a schedule I drug under The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). Unlike The US, Canada does not make a distinction between a drug legally available for medical use (eg oxycodone) and an illegal drug (eg LSD) when placing drugs in a schedule.

Other examples of schedule I drugs are Methamphetamine, Ketamine, PCP, Cocaine, Morphine, and Fentanyl.

In The United Kingdom oxycodone is a Class A drug under The Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA). Like Canada, The UK does not separate illegal drugs from those with a medical use. Other examples of Class A drugs include Fentanyl, LSD, Methamphetamine, Morphine, and Diamorphine (heroin).

Internationally oxycodone is a schedule I drug ('yellow list') under The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, an international treaty.

It should also be noted that the term 'narcotic' has many different meanings. Scientifically only opioids (morphine, heroin, oxycodone) are narcotics however most law ambiguously uses the term narcotic to encompass other drugs. Depending on the law narcotic may be used very selectively or broadly.

Is hydrocodone-acetamenophene and Vicodin the same?

No

Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from either of two naturally occurring opiates-codeine and thebaine.

IUPAC name: 4,5a-Epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one

whereas

Codeine or 3-methylmorphine (a natural isomer of methylated morphine, the other being the semi-synthetic 6-methylmorphine) is an opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive, and antidiarrheal properties.

IUPAC name: (5α,6α)-7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-ol

IUPAC is the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry.

What is the half life of vicodin?

The half life is about 3.5-4 hours. Not that long. But the higher

the dose, the longer it will last. Lets say 5mg would be about 3.5 hours.

7.5 or 10mg about 5-6 hours. 15mg about 7-8 hours and 30mg about 9-10

hours.

Is Norco considered Vicodin?

They both use the same narcotic medication, hydrocodone. The only difference is that Norco contains less acetaminophen (Tylenol) than the Vicodin formulations.

Some patients found they had a lot of stomach irritation with Vicodin, but if they were switched to Norco, they didn't have as much problem with that symptom because of the lower level of Tylenol.

What will vicodin show up as in a urine drug test?

They both show up in the opiate category on a standard drug test, and can be tested for seperately i believe, but for a standard drug test they stay in your system about 3 days max. and will make you test positive for opiates if detected.

Is it safe to take temazepam and vicodin together?

At small doses yes. At higher doses, no. Can cause respiratory depression

What happens if you snort norco?

Yes. I wouldn't snort a whole pill though. You can snort a Norco and it will give a pretty quick reaction, only I recommend crushing up about half of one and chewing the rest or swallowing it, mixing it with a drink. People who say it doesn't work at all because of the binders are failing to realize it all ends up going down the back of your throat and ultimately in your body in the end, especially if you wash it down real quick. People always complain about the flavor and a bit of a stinging in the nose, but it's not like people drink whiskey cuz it tastes good. Just avoid the inside of your nose, aim straight through the sinuses.

_________________

Ummmm, you ARE doing Tylenol - 325 mg. to be exact. Norco contains no aspirin.

Does Vicodin have cocaine in it?

no, but it will cause a positive result for opiates (heroin).

Can you take vicodin and uti pain reliever together?

When you say "UTI pain reliever" do you mean something like Pyridium or AZO Standard? If so, then yes, you can take vicodin with those medicines. If you mean something else, then you do not want to take two pain medications together. Pyridium and AZO are phazopyridine, which is a urinary agent and not a true pain reliever. They only act on the urinary system.

Is it safe to take 2mg xanax with 5mg vicodin?

If you've taken Xanax or Hydrocodone before and know how it affects you and you can easily handle 2mg of xanax , you could take both an be fine. The only worry would be if you increased these amounts, which could result in CNS depression or serious overdose. (Depending on your tolerance) But the rule of thumb would be not to mix downers. Oh, And don't drink. That's a big NONO, ESPECIALLY when mixing an already potentially dangerous concoction ofpharmaceuticals.


What happens to a person who has been snorting vicodin for a year?

Well, Considering that vicodin isn't meant to be snorted, who knows. Something that will happen despite whether you take it how you should or not would be it killing your liver. You can survive on between a half and a third - assuming that much of the liver is healthy. That doesn't mean you WANT to kill it... Oh and like I said, that's with the assumption you have a healthy liver and you don't even want me to explain the meanings of a healthy one. Chances are, you don't.

It really depends on how much of both you are talking about.It is safe to take some Vicodin and then later on an hour or two later to take ONE baclofen BUT it would be dumb to take these at the same time seeing how they are both central nervous system depressants and could be seriously dangerous even fatal.

Can you snort hydroxyzine?

It clogs up your nostrils and pisses you off because you just wasted a pill. I've done it, it's not worth it. You're much better off chewing it up and taking it. You will choke and gag from of all those ridiculous lines you're going to make with a Vicodin! Not fun! Not to mention you're mostly snorting Tylenol anyway :-/

Will dextromethorphan show up in a drug screen?

ok, there is speculation that at higher doses (500 + mg) of DXM, certain tests will show this as a "false positive" for PCP and/or opiates as long as 3-5 days after ingestion. Though based on experience, DXM does not show up on the basic THC/METH/COC/OPI tests, which are used in most probation departments. after taking 21 maximum strength Mucinex DM pills, (which total up to 1260 mg of Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide) I tested clean 4 1/2 days after ingestion. There is ongoing debate on this matter, my experience shows evidence that it is unlikely or impossible for DXM to show up on standard drug tests.

What is the difference between butalbital and hydrocodone?

It's a pain killer and cough suppressant used in medications like Vicodin.

"Hydrocodone" is a "semi-synthetic" or partially man-made opiod analgesic (pain killer) and antitussive (cough suppressant) made from codeine and thebaine.

"Bitartrate" is a salt of tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is a muscle toxin but in medications that include Hydrocodone Bitartrate, it is used to alter the water-solubility of Hydrocodone to make it more readily absorbed b the body. Hydrocodone Bitartrate is the generic name/active ingredient (alongside acetaminophen) in Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Lortab, and Norco. It is a mild to moderate pain reliever and is a Schedule III drug in the United States. It is only available with a prescription from a doctor.
