My wife is taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen SOL APAP at 2 tsps every 4 hours. Is Vicodin 5/500 the equivalent to this and can she take the Vicodin instead? She just had the Gastric Bypass almost a week ago.
Vicodin does contain the same active ingredients (Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen), so it all depends on what dosage she is currently taking. Another thing to consider is that there may be a reason why she was prescribed this medication in a syrup form instead of a tablet, especially that she had surgery related to the digistive system. Ultimately it would be advisable to check with her doctor before making any switches like that, especially with such a potent medication. Wishing her a speedy recovery! Please reply with any other details or questions which you can think of...
My doctor just prescribed me Loaratab in error. He wrote the prescription a bit wacky and the Pharmacy instead of filling the bottle with Hydrocodine ES 750s put Loaratab in it.
The prescription said something like, Vicodine ES 750 500 and I got Loaratab.
I have taken the Loaratab for my pain and it dont come close to the relief I get from the ES 750s
