Question 1

how strong is hydrocodone acetaminophen 5-325?

Accepted Answer

How strong: The strength of a medication is relative to the person taking it.

For some this medication will be a very strong medication.  

For others who may have a history of taking alcohol or other similar medications it may be a weak medication.

It also depends on whether other medications are also prescribed with it and the nature of the pain that is being treated.

Question 2

how effective is hydrocodone bit/acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

Effective for what?: and in what dose?  All opioids are effective for pain, although there are some kinds of pain that they don't work as well for (like nerve irritation pain or neuropathy). For moderate pain, usual doses of hydrocodone are 5-15 mg every 3-4 hours, usually in a pill together with 325 mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) per pill.

Question 3

for how long does hydrocodone/acetaminophen last?

Accepted Answer

Last??: For pain, the useful period is generally 3-4 hours. If you mean how long does it stay in the body, it is rapidly metabolized and is only in the bloodstream in that form for a couple hours, is metabolized to Codeine and morphine, and those metabolites can last a day or two and be detected in urine, but they are not producing much activity, same with the tylenol (acetaminophen) in it.

Question 8

hydrocodone acetaminophen discontinued, reduced to lower apap, what to do?

Accepted Answer

To do for what?: I don't know what your question is, but whoever was prescribing for you, and has discontinued that prescribing is the one you need to be asking.  If you were on regular (and high) doses of hydrocodone and it was stopped, you may be feeling withdrawal. Your doctor has an obligation to help you treat this. Clonidine, other medications and physical measures (massage, hot packs) can help.

Question 9

i have hydrocodone/gg syrup (af, sf, df) and does it have acetaminophen in it?

Accepted Answer

It shoudn't : From the description you gave, it is unlikely. The active ingredients are often listed in small print. If in doubt, talk to your doctor.

Question 10

can i substitute hydrocodone /apap7.5/2.25 for hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-650?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: The 7.5 is just a lower dose than the 10 mg pill.  If you have both then just take one of them, do not take both - they are the same except the dose.
