Hydrocodone Acetaminophen Norco 10 325 Mg Is It Harmful?

Saw a new ortho surgeon. Was taking Hydrocodone/Acetamenaphine 10-325. For lower back pain. He said "oh no, Don't take that!" and presribed Tramadol 50 mg. Why?

REPORT

Because it can be highly addictive. Also it is going to go from a Schedule III to a Schedule II, Oct 6, 2014. That means no refills, it can't be called in and you must see your dr at least every 90 days. Even though Tramadol can also be addicting, the risk isn't as great. Tramadol became a Schedule IV Aug 18, 2014.

Hello, Pete! How are you?

Your doctor may also be concerned about the Acetaminophen, taking it for a long time creates the risk of liver damage or failure.

These medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, Nancy! How are you?

Due to such allergies, wheat is not on the approved inactive ingredients list of the FDA, so it is not used as a filler in any medication.

This is 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.

Some do use a small amount of corn starch, which is some cases might be contaminated with gluten, though.

What are the markings on the tablets? I'll be happy to check the inactive ingredients for you.

Thank you, Nancy! That makes it much easier to look up the inactive ingredients.

Corn starch is listed, which as I said, can sometimes be contaminated if it's processed in a facility that also does what products, but they do not contain any actual wheat as fillers.

Do you also have a problem with traces of gluten?
