Question 1

is it safe to take a low dosage of unisom (1/2 tablet) with pain medication (1 norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10-325)?

Accepted Answer

NO: Unisom contains a strong antihistamine which would cause severe sedation.

Question 2

what is norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10 dosage? should i take 2?

Accepted Answer

Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen): Is a brand name, and a combination of two medications. One is hydrocodone, an opiod, the other is Acetaminophen found in tylenol (acetaminophen). 10 refers to the milligram of hydrocodone. You should only use what your doctor prescribed and do not exceed 6 tablets daily as this builds up tolerance very quickly and high tylenol (acetaminophen) dose can hurt your liver.

Question 3

can you take half of a hydrocodone/acetaminophen (norco) pill to get half the dosage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The only pills generally not recommended to cut or crush are time-released longer acting opioid containing drugs, where disrupting the pill effects the time release. For an immediate release drug like Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) (or vicodin, or lortab or any other), cutting it in half is fine.

Question 4

if i took a half dose of norco 325 will it show up in my urine in 4 hourd?

Accepted Answer

: The listed time it takes for 1/2 the hydrocodone to leave the body is ~4 hours leaving 1/2 behind. If the test is sensitive, it will likely detect this drug four hours after ingestion.

Question 5

1.5 mg xanax daily last four days. last dose tonight at nine pm. ok to take only my norco 5/325 mg tomorrow 7 am ? alone no other meds just the norco.

Accepted Answer

Should be OK.: If you have taken the medicines exactly as you have described, it should be OK to take your a.m. dose of Norco on schedule. Do not take it early. Do not mix it with the other medications. If you have any side effects, be sure to notify your physician immediately. Good luck.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Medications: The Norco is a narcotic. Most narcotics can cause severe nausea. The Phenergan (promethazine) is an anti-nausea medication that can offset the side effects of the Norco. Hope your knee feels better

Question 7

for 4 months i have had severe buttock, thigh and shin pain.  the only dose that helps now is 3, 10/325's of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) bid.  is that safe?

Accepted Answer

Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen): "safety" with Norco applies 1st to making sure you are not taking too much tylenol (acetaminophen) per day. 3-4000 mg per day should be max to keep the liver safe. You are taking 1950mg (325x3x2). The other issue is chronic use of hydrocodone which can lead to addiction, and side effects of drowsiness, nausea, constipation, etc.

Question 8

what quantity of days after taking last dose of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10 mg. would my urine show clean?

Accepted Answer

Half-life norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen): Is 4-5 hours. It takes approximately 6 half lives for a drug to be eliminated from your system. 5*6/24=1.25 days. 
Rec.: if you are concerned about the drug test best thing to do is stop taking the drug.
