BL is correct, that is not a high dose.

However, the FDA does warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as constipation, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

It is a pretty standard dosage prescribed for Shingles, since the pain from it can be miserable.

Are there any other questions?

No, it's not a large dose. Hydrocodone comes in 5, 7.5 & 10 mg hydrocodone with 325 tylenol in each tablet. The higher doses are usually every 4-6 hrs.
