How does Vicodin enter the body?

In the stomach, and the small intestine - and to a certain degree, the medication can be released without the pill being completely dissolved. I believe the "shell" for want of a better word is permeable and that effective plasma levels can be achieved even should the pill appear to pass through the body intact. I know this because I have seen whole pills in my stool, and yet I consistently achieve a therapeutic effect from taking the medication (pain reduction)aas directed, so either we're all being duped, or my assessment is reasonably correct.

The combination of Naproxen and Ibuprofen or Tylenol taken together are the equivalent to a non addictive vicodin for back knee pain. Which 2 is the correct combination?

I think you're mistaken. Naproxen is Aleve, Ibuprofen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory drug), and Tylenol is acetaminophen.

Vicodin is a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. The hydrocodone is a narcotic (opiate).

Combining two OTC pain medications is generally a bad idea as you'll combine the bad effects (i.e. stomach bleeding, taxing your liver) and you really won't get much more bang for your buck.

So to answer your question, none of the above.

How do you convert Vicodin dose units to grams?

What could you use to get brown stains off the surface of an acrylic snap-together tub?

If these stains are from rust, I would say try snow bowl. I know it sounds crazy, but it works! Put the snow bowl on ( try and get the thick formula so it doesn't run and actually sits on the stain) then let it sit for a few minutes(make sure not to leave it too long because it will start to eat the material). Make sure you have a window open or a fan on because the smell will be very strong and the chemicals are not good to inhale, and you may want to wear gloves because the strong chemicals will irritate the skin. Then just use a soft scrubber, like the green ones used in the kitchen and scrub it off.

Are you save taking 1300 mg of vicodin at once?

There is not that much hydrocodone in Vicodin, that's the acetaminophen. Yes it is safe to take that amount.

While pregnant is it okay to take echinacea?

Absolutely. It will not harm your child.

As a matter of fact, it has been scientifically proven to have no effect at all, either good or bad - for anyone. The FDA lists Echinacea as a "Dietary Supplement" and does not regulate. One of the many problems with the Supplement industry, is a lack of regulation. While the actual herb may/may not be detrimental to your developing fetus is unknown, however, there is no Federal regulation stating what is actually IN the capsules/tablets you're taking. In other words, there's no guarantee as to what you're swallowing.... Good luck.

Which lasts longer percocet or vicodin And does the higher the strength of percoet make it last longer?

====

The potency and how long meds can work do depend on the person taking the drug. And the variance can be dramatic. The narcotic in Percocet, oxycodone, is roughly 50% stronger than the narcotic in Vicodin (hydrocodone). For comparison purposes, hydrocodone is just about equal to morphine in potency. Neither Vicodin nor Percocet are formulated to be a long lasting drug, so both will peak in intensity and gradually diminish in strength as time goes on. I believe both Vicodin and Percocet are written to be used every 4-6 hours as needed. Taking it all into consideration, I wholeheartedly agree with the original person who ed this question - it depends on the person. The only reason I went into detail on potency is to show that these drugs are so similar in strength that it really does boil down to the patient.

The medications will last the same amount of time depending on the person. If you take a higher strength it won't make them last longer they will just make the pain relief better for you. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin (depending on the person.) For me I know that Vicodin works on me and Percocet doesn't do anything for my pain.

What is the difference with 325mg to 3.25mg?

This is the same as asking what is the difference between $325 and $3.25; there is a HUGE difference.

However, a small number doesn't always mean much. Tylenol and aspirin are 325mg per tablet. A patient who is having a heart attack would receive 2-4 mg of morphine. 325mg of morphine would be deadly and 3.25mg of tylenol wouldn't even be helpful if you were the size of a cat.
