is hydrocodone apap 5-500 the same as vicodin

Hi Maria,

I take celebrex along with vicodin (hydrocodone5/500 generic) You may find your tummy gets upset.  I also take aciphex (heartburn/GRD).  Something to certainly talk with your dr about.  Good luck with this!

essentially they are, but the vicoden is brand name and hydrocodone is generic!

hydrocodone 5 is the good stuff.  the apap 500 means 500 mg of aspirin.  Vicodine is a brand name that sells hydrocodone.  It can come in 2.5mg pills, 5mg and 10mg.  Most vicodine perscriptions give you exactly what you have 5mg hydro and 500mg generic brand aspirin.

when should I take hydrocodone

Maria ,hydrocodone apap 5/500       the 5 is the amount of narcodic  , the 500 is the dosage of tylenol.  The 500 is not aspirin.   You have to be careful taking this because to much tylenol can ruin your liver.  Call any pharmacist and they will verify medications and what they  are for you.  Vicodon is one of the brand names for hydrocodone.

I'm concerned with the warning on label may cause breathing problems-can a person overdose on this?
