What is Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs Used For? Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs is a combination of a narcotic (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic (acetaminophen) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins, therefore relieving pain.

How To Use Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs
Take Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs by mouth, as directed by your doctor. You may take Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs with or without food. If you have nausea, you may take Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs with food, although doing so may decrease its effectiveness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives for decreasing nausea (e.g., antihistamines, lying down for 1-2 hours with minimal head movement). The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Pain medications work best in relieving pain before it becomes severe. Once the pain becomes intense, the medication is not as effective in relieving it. Use Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs can be habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of time, do not suddenly stop using Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs without your doctor s approval. When used for an extended period, Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs stops working well. Hydrocodone W/acetaminophen Hs contains acetaminophen. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended (see Side Effects section).
