My wife will be taking hydrocodone acetaminophen 5 500 tb for the first time to help her get through her physical therapy. How long before the therapy starts should she take the pill to get maximum relief during the session.

It's really difficult to say, because it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the regular release tablets like this to start being digested and enter someone's blood stream and then, of course, you want it to be working, before she goes in for the session to minimize the pain.

I'd say she should take it at least half an hour before.

Learn more Vicodin details here.

However, I'm not a doctor, so I'd suggest she call hers and ask them, just to be certain.

Additionally, like all analgesics, they really work better at preventing pain, rather than relieving it, so taking them regularly will likely provide the most benefit.

What type of PT is she undergoing?
