How should I take acetaminophen and hydrocodone?

Use this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since acetaminophen and hydrocodone is sometimes used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist.

Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with hydrocodone. Check the label of any other medicines you take to be sure they do not contain alcohol.
