Most
Common Medical Uses of Vicodin Pain Releivers
Vicodin
painkillers are a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen.
Hydrocodone relieves pain. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain
reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone. Together,
acetaminophen and hydrocodone are most commonly used to relieve
moderate-to-severe pain. Acetaminophen and hydrocodone may also be
used for purposes other than those listed here.
How
to Take Vicodin Prescription Pain Medication
Take
vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) exactly as directed by your
doctor. Take each vicoden dose with a full glass of water. Take
vicodin pills (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) with food or milk if
it upsets your stomach. Never take more vicodin prescription pain
medication than is prescribed for you. Too much vicodin
(acetaminophen and hydrocodone) could be very harmful. Do not stop
taking vicodin suddenly if you have been taking vicodin pain kilers
continuously for more than 5 to 7 days. Stopping vicodin pain
medication suddenly could cause withdrawal symptoms and make you
feel uncomfortable. Your doctor may want to gradually reduce your
vicodin dose.

dizziness; unconsciousness; yellowing of the skin or eyes; or
