I want to know if it is safe to split this in half? It has the line down the center for separation but I want to be sure. Thanks!!! To be more specific it's a ten mg. ## Yes, it isn't time released, so it can be split in half, according to the NIH. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have four ounces of hydro bit soap 7.25/325 per 15ml. How many pills would that be equal to? ## Hi Amy - I'll try to see if I can do some math below to help you with the conversion. 4 oz = approx. 118.3 ml. 118.3 ml / 15 ml = approx. 7.9 doses of 15 ml. So in other words the four ounce container has close to 8 doses of 15 ml in it, each dose containing 7.25/325 of the active ingredients. Does that help? Also, I couldn't help but noticing that you said your medication is in a soap form? Is that what you meant to say? I am not familiar with that, if you could write back with some more details about your medication that would be super helpful (and also help to satisfy my curiosity). Thanks!

So I have a lot pain and idk how many of the L484 pills I'm supposed to take, nor what dosing regimen is considered to be safe? Can anyone shed some light on how to best take this medication? ## Hello, Sadie! This tablet is listed in the NIH database as containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen - It is a generic or store brand of Tylenol. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache. You can only take 2 of them, at once, every 6 hours, and shouldn't exceed 6 of them in any 24 hour period. Ref: Dailymed

I had to take a hair follicle test in a custody case over my daughter. My ex was positive on almost everything. I tested positive for hydrocodone at 1100 and oxycodone at 1200. I have not taken any in about a month. Should I be scared? Don't want to loose my daughter. She's not safe with her mother. ## Please.....tell me how bad it is. Her mother has a boyfriend that's not safe at all. Just want to know what I'm looking at. Thanks

I was prescribed tramadol 50 mg about 4 months ago for my back pain.. It's been working great as far as taking the pain away.. It really surprised me how much pain it took away and it doesn't make me feel high. I was prescribed 3 a day and that's a good amount to keep me pain free all day. However my insurance won't cover 90 pills, it only covers 60 pills.. And my pharmacist won't let me buy the other 30 for some reason. Doesn't make any sense to me but that's a whole 'nother subject. So I've had to try really hard to only take two a day and it makes me aggravated because I still have to hurt for a third of the day... My question is about the side effects. I've heard that depression and suicidal thoughts are a possible side effect and I've bee...

My bottle says 7.5-325/15ml. How much would be equal to 2 tabs? Would it be 30ml?! I have always been on the pills but I now switched doctors & I didn't notice he prescribed liquid lortab until I went to the pharmacy. ## Hello, Megan! How are you? Yes, however, you should not exceed your doctor's dosing instructions. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Hey y all. So I ran out of my suboxine. Took a half last night actually evening. Around 5 pm. Have some loratabs left, from a previous script. In a serious amount of pain. Don't want to hurt myself but need something to give. Tha ks ## If you've been on Suboxone, it will take about 3 days, before other opiates will work for you, again.

If I take 3 10/325 mg hydrocodone bitrate on the 7th and the very next day on the 8th I have a urine test will the hydrocodone show in my urine ## Yes, it definitely will!! Opiates need 3-5 days (usually) to leave your system. It could take up to 7-9 days depending on the dosage, your diet, amount of exercise, hydration and your body's elimination rates. There's no possible way you can use your own sample and have it not show in your system. Try "Urine Luck" in the future...or give yourself a few days in between with a lot of hydration, sweat and cranberry juice that dosage should be completely gone in 3 days. ## I have taken hydrocone for a couple weeks but have not taken any for three day will it show up in my urinalysis test

I have taken Tylenol 3 with codeine in it recently and I did get very nauseous and of tiny rash and when I went to get my root canal recently my doctor told me he couldn't prescribe me hydrocodone because it was the same thing I have been prescribed hydrocodone from the hospital due to my kidney stones and I've had no problem but he told me that he could not give me anything else but Tramadol since I'm allergic to codeine is that true ## Hello, Michelle123! How are you? No, that is not true, there are others you can try. They are all narcotic opiates, but they are different.

i found some hydrocodone in my drawer, they were kept in a dry dark place in the original container, they were prescribed in 2007 but expired in 2010 and now its about 7 years past the due date. are they still safe to take? ## Hello, Lexi! How are you? They do not become dangerous, once expired, but they do begin to lose efficacy, being that old, they will most likely not work well, anymore. Thus, it would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

I took 5/325 hydrocodone twice daily but also drink a lot of water - my last test came back negative when I had taken one the day before the test (they were late refilling my prescription) and the test showed no trace amounts of it in my system - could I be drinking too much water? ## I have had the same thing happen to me and they have threatened to stop prescribing it if I get another negative test. I am prescribed 2 per day as needed for breakthrough pain. That means some days if I'm in excruciating pain I will take more than 2 and I know that other days I will have to take less. I don't need them every day so this is how I "manage" my pain. I can't understand why I've come up with negative tests at all. I sometimes will only take a half if I am running low or...

Found a white oval pill with imprint 2172 in my son's sock drawer and need to know what it is. ## Hi Lisa, From what I could gather, a white oval pill marked with 2172 is identified as a generic Hydrocodone Bitartrate 5mg + Acetaminophen 325mg tablet. Apparently it's a fairly new manufactured version made by Actavis and that may be why there aren't many references to it here/online yet. For verification, the national drug code is reportedly 0591-2172. I hope this helps! ## Thank you so much for the information David this was very helpful ## This is true. New generic for Norco 3/325. I got this for my back (sciatica). ## Sorry, my typing. It's generic for the Norco 5/325. ## Thanks so much Sven this really helps alot it's scary to know that my son has this medication ...

i have a prescription from my pain management doctor for norco 10-325 but it has been on back order each time ive tried to have it filled at not only my pharmacy Rite Aide but other major pharmacy's have also been unable to fill my prescription is their any reason for this or is there any suggestion's ## Two things are possible. One, when it was reclassified as a Schedule II the bottles the pharmacy's had were sent back to the manufacturer. It is possible they are running short or don't have any. Second, this time of year it is not unusual for Schedule II meds to become very hard to find or not be able to find them at all. The reason is because the manufacturers are only given a certain amount of active ingredients for 1 year. When that runs out, they have to wait until ...

Hello, I'm wondering if it would be OK to take 2 hydrocodone/Acetaminophine 10/300 at one time. Has anyone done this? I used to take 2 5/300 when my pain was excruciating and my Dr increased my dosage, so I wouldn't have to take two pills. ## Hello, Jules! How are you? It is sometimes prescribed that way, take one or two tablets as needed, but it would be best not to do so, without your doctor's approval. If you aren't opiate tolerant, it could cause an overdose, which may put you in danger. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is it safe to take my pain meds (for my back injury) 2 days before I have a biopsy? Is it safe? Or is THAT considered an anti inflammatory medication? ## Hello, Kandy! How are you? No, this is not an anti-inflammatory. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Thus, it should be fine, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No thanks.....I went without it for the week. But thank you for answering my question. ## Having bilateral knee surgery in Two days is it OK to take hydrocodone\ acetaminophen before surgery won't increase chance of bleeding?

If i did Hydrocodone and Methamphetamine how long stay in your system i did both 2 days ago have to drop in 10 days first time doing meth can anyone tell me how long for both to get out ? ## If I took Methamphetamine on Sun and have to drug test on Mon would it show? ## 10 days u should be good...but i would drink a lot of cranberry juice, or gatorade, even beer to piss all you can ..pissing is the key...and sweating it out dont hurt either...so get up, get busy and stay away from that deadly mix ## You are probably already clean. Drink about a 1/2gallon to gallon if h2o before the test. Be surento drink a dark soda after that so you dont pee clear
