hydrocodone

[tessie]

I take hydrocodone everyday, just once per day 5/500, can that amount cause any harmful stomach problems, heart or liver? I am healthy as far as I know although I do experience bouts of pretty severe palpatations which I have had several tests for and keep being told not to worry. Sometimes I have taken Oxicotin, but not very often.

Hi tessie,

I was wondering why you have been prescribed these medications to take on a daily basis. Your welcome to search each drug via the link at bottom.

Good Luck,

It seems that you are taking a safe dose of hydrocodone daily, as long as it's according to the doctor's orders. It can however cause constipation and if the product has acetaminophen in it, may be harmful to the liver if used regularly for a very long time. Also, even just one tablet daily will cause a degree of dependency, with corresponding withdrawal symptoms such as morning headaches after discontinuation.

Please discuss your medication with your doctor.

you are fine taking that. if you are not prescribed oxy you should not take it. that is not one to mess around with. i think w/ palputations you need to get an electrocardiam, to make sure your blood and electricity is going fine

one 5/500 is not going to hurt you. as for the palputations, get an electrocardiogram done to make sure all is fine w/ electricity and blood flow in/out of heart

Hydrocodone is in a bunch of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. Acetaminophen is a less cogent pain reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone. The connection of hydrocodone and acetaminophen is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
