It comes in hydrocodone 5mgs, 7.5 mgs and 10 mgs. There is 500 mgs of tylenol in it. The 5 mg is the lowest dose in pill form

Hydrocodone, which is the generic for Vicoden, is what I was prescribed after Percocet didn't give me much relief. I then was switched to Roxycodone, because I have elevated liver levels in my blood work, and the Tylenol can worsen that. I am now prescribed 30 mgs. of Roxycodone three times a day. Whether it be Percoset, Vicoden, or Oxycodone or Roxycodone and going up to more powerful pain medications, they are all so very addictive. My suggestion for everyone that is given a prescription for any of these is to try your hardest to deal with the pain unless it becomes too much for you to tolerate. Addiction is a horrible disease. I am living (thank God!) proof of that! Thanks for allowing to post my opinion.

Yes you can, but I would give her 1/2 tab. The best thing for cramps is Motrin. Narcotics don't give much relief and have the potential for being addictive.
