What is the difference between hydrocodone and compound medications?
Hydrocodone is a Schedule II medication rarely used as a painkiller. Vicodin (for instance) is a compound combination of hydrocodone and APAP, and is a Schedule III medication. The APAP and hydrocodone seem to work synergistically in that the presence of each seems to enhance the effects of the other.
Are vocodin and oxycodone apap both classified as opiates?
Vicodin (generic is hydrocodone) and oxycodone apap are both classified as opiates. I assume the person asking the question meant Vicodin instead of Vocodin. Oxycodone apap is the generic form of OxyContin with acetaminophen added. Acetaminophen is the generic form of Tylenol. AFAIK, both are Schedule II opiates. former 20 year x-ray tech
Is taking two Vicodin 750 the same as takinking two Vicodin 500?
Not necessarily. Vicodin is a combination of hydocodone and acetaminophen/paracetamol(APAP). Vicodin is available in: 5mg hydrocodone / 500mg APAP 7.5mg hydrocodone / 750mg APAP 10mg hydrocodone / 660mg APAP Therefore, if you take one 10mg pill containing 660mg APAP instead of taking two 5mg pills each containing 500mg APAP for a combined total of 1000mg APAP, you will, in essence, be receiving less of a drug that reduces inflamation and assists in relieving pain. In addition, ingesting too much APAP will cause great stress to your liver, so when managing severe pain you may want to monitor that. Moreover, taking one 5mg pill at one time then another 5mg pill at a later time will NOT heed the same results as taking two 5mg pills at the same time. (half lives, metabolic absorbtion, etc.)
Can you die from Vicodin overdose?
yes. vicodin is the brand name for the mix of hydrocodone(the good stuff) and apap aka Tylenol or the bad stuff depending on the amount of vicodin your snorting there will be a lot of apap which will burn horribly plus apap is poison only put in to stop abuse any thing over 4000mg of apap is dangerous to your liver even less could be if you drink on even a semi regular basis if u wish to snort vicodin i recommend using a cold water extraction or cwe Google it you will most likely find it helpful

What does the medical abbreviation APAP mean?
APAP can indicate that acetaminophen is in a product. For example, a prescription bottle may read VICODIN...under that it will list the generic ingredients ie.... hydrocodone 5 mg/ APAP 325 mg.

What does the mg mean for Vicodin?
"mg" is the International Unit abbreviation for "Milligrams." You will see 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg meaning milligrams. Vicodin however contains 5 mg of Hydrocodone and 500 mg of Acetaminophen (aka APAP).
You take vicodin 750es about 4 a day and have for about a year now but the last week your kidney area has been very sore is the vicodin hurting your kidneys?
I doubt it. There haven't been any case studies that I could find that linked hydrocodone/acetaminophen(APAP), or Vicodin, to kidney failure. It is most likely due to something else like kidney stones or a UTI. One thing you might want to do if you're on the Vicodin ES tablets (that is 7.5mg hydrocodone/750mg APAP) four times a day is get a liver test done since long term APAP use can cause liver issues, especially if you drink. While you're at it, it would be a good idea to have your kidneys checked out as well. To answer your question though the Vicodin should not be causing kidney problems.
