I was prescribed this stuff for pain relief after a tonsilectomy...bottle reads: 400 HYDROCODONE/ SOL APAP Take 2-4 teaspoonfuls every four hours as needed. My question is, is there a way to tell how many milligrams each of hydrocodone/acetominophen per teaspoon? I am concerned about the APAP as we all know it is toxic to the liver in high doses and would like to know how much is in each dose I take so I can monitor it. I am assuming the 400 on the bottle corresponds to that, but I don't know how it applies (ex. per teaspoon, or per reccomended dose of 2-4 an hour). Seems to me its a lot harder to find info on ratio of hydro. to APAP in liquid form, wheras it is almost common knowlege for the tablet-forms. If someone could help me on this matter it would be great!
Thanks in advance.
LOL! I keep changing my post here as I am trying to find information for you.
Anyway, as far as I can tell this is only available in a dosage of 500mgs of Acetaminophen (Not 400) and 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone per 15mls, which would be 3 teaspoons.
Thanks! That makes alot of sense...3 teaspoons would be the same dose as 7.5/500 tablet. I wish they would put the dosage info. directly on the bottle though....then maybe we wouldn't have a need all these forums online, trying to find out just what the heck we are taking lol!
Thanks again!

I was prescribed hydrocodone/apap 7.5mg/500mg/15ml for a surgery i had..i was wondering if 2 teaspoons was the correct dosage for me as a 26yr old 150lbs. It seems not to work at all, and ive read that this dosage(the 2 teaspoons) is a usual for a child? So i need to find out what is my dosage to take? Thanks
Was prescribed 300 Hyrdocodone-APAP solution after surgery. What is the equivalent in pill form. It does not say the milligrams. The directions are to take 1 Tablespoon every 8 hours as needed. It doesn't seem to be very effective. What is 1 Tblspn equivalent to? Is it like one 5 mg
I was prescribed #600 hydrocodone/APAP solution for getting my tonsils removed. They told me to take 15ML every 6-8 hours. I didnt know how much 15ML was so i just took a drink, now im laying in bed thinking im hallucinating a little bit, itching and i have asthma. What should i do? Will i be fine?
My children were prescribed this after a tonsil extraction and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen oral solution is generic for Lortab Elixir. Every 15mL is equivalent to one 7.5mg/500mg Lortab tablet. The only difference between Lortab and Vicodin ES is that Lortab has 250mg less acetaminophen then the Vicodin ES tablet. I hope this helps.
15ml is equal to 3 teaspoons or 1 tablespoon
