What do you take if you have an allergic reaction to coedinewhat do you if you are allergic to codeine would you be allergic to vicodin?

Benadryl is a good choice and any other antihistamine will help. Keep in mind that a reaction codeine or to any narcotic is like an allergy (itching, hives, etc) is really a side effect. Narcotics will cause direct histamine release from the Allergy cells(Mast cells) For this reason Vicodin (Hydrocodone) most probably will also cause the same reaction. The reactions may be different at different doses and some patients will tolerate alternatives.

What is the difference between hydrocodone and percodan?

Percocet is the brand name for an Oxycodone/Tylenol combination pain drug. Percodan is Oxycodone with Aspirin. They are DEA Schedule 2 controlled substances, meaning there are more restrictions on prescribing and dispensing.

The dosage indicates in milligrams the amount of each in the pill; for example, I use Percocet 10/325's, which means there are 10mg's of Oxycodone and 325mg's of Tylenol in each. Oxycodone is also prescribed in a time-release version, which is known by its brand name of OxyContin. It lasts from 8-12 hours.

Hydrocodone is actually listed on both DEA Schedule 2 and 3, but they're a bit different in composition and strength. Dihydrocodeinone is the base for Schedule 2 Hydrocodone; Hydrocodone and Isoquinolone alkaloid combination is the Schedule 3 version, and is the base drug for most common prescriptions, which are Hydrocodone/analgesic mixes (Hydrocodone/Tylenol, etc.). The way to tell is by your prescriptions; Schedule 2 drugs cannot have refills, be called into a pharmacy, require new prescriptions for every new fill, and the patient can only get a 30 day supply at a time.

Vicodin is the brand name for Hydrocodone and Isoquinolone alkaloid.

Of the 2, preparations with Oxycodone are stronger in relation to similar dosages (e.g., 5mg Oxycodone is stronger than 5mg Hydrocodone / Isoquinolone). On the opiate comparison chart, Hydrocodone is only 6 times as strong as Codeine, where Oxycodone is 15-20 times as strong.

Percocet is typically prescribed for short term severe pain (post surgery, e.g.) that is expected to heal, or for long term chronic pain patients as a primary or breakthrough drug used with a stronger opiate. Those who are taking it long term are typically referred to Pain Management.

Vicodin is prescribed for lower level pain, either short term or for a few weeks.

Yes, for a couple of reasons. Vicodin is a compound of hydrocodone, which is a synthetic narcotic, and this is what you might normally overdose on.
