Hydrocodone is an effective antitussive (anti-cough)
agent, and as an opiate it is also an effective analgesic for
mild to moderate pain control. Five mg of hydrocodone is
equivalent to 30 mg of codeine when administered orally. Early
comparisons concluded that hydrocodone and morphine were
equipotent for pain control in humans. However, it is now
considered that a dose of 15 mg (1/4 gr) of hydrocodone is
equivalent to 10 mg (1/6 gr) of morphine. Hydrocodone is
considered to be morphine-like in all respects.
Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone (marketed as Vicodin, Anexsia,
Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Tussionex,
Vicoprofen (one generic drug substituted for Hydrocodone is
Hydroco)) is an opioid derived from either of the naturally
occurring opiates codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally
active narcotic analgesic and antitussive. The typical
therapeutic dose of 5 to 10 mg is pharmacologically equivalent
to 30 to 60 mg of oral codeine.[1] Sales and production of this
drug have increased significantly in recent years, as have
diversion and illicit use. Hydrocodone is commonly available in
tablet, capsule and syrup form.
Vicodin, hydrocodone in combination with acetaminophen, is a
commonly abused version of hydrocodone. Vicodin, as with all
narcotic analgesics, can be habit forming---causing dependence,
tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms if not used as it is
prescribed. Even when used as prescribed, the following effects
are possible:
COMMON SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE: dizziness, light-headedness,
nausea, sedation, vomiting, and constipation.
LESS COMMON SIDE EFFECTS: allergic reactions, blood disorders,
mood changes, mental cloudiness, anxiety, lethargy, urine
retention, ureteral spasm, irregular breathing, respiratory
depression, and skin rash.
SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSE: bluish tinge to skin, cold and clammy
skin, extreme sleepiness progressing to a possible state of
unresponsiveness or coma, heart problems, heavy perspiration,
kidney problems, limp muscles, liver failure, low blood
pressure, nausea, slow heartbeat, troubled or slowed breathing,
and vomiting.
