What is Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)?

What is Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) used for?

  • Pain that isn't relieved by non-opioid pain medications alone

How Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) works

Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) is a combination of two medications that work together to treat pain.

  • Hydrocodone is an opioid. It attaches to certain mu-opioid receptors in your brain to lower how much pain you feel.
  • Acetaminophen is an analgesic. It blocks the production of certain chemicals in your brain that play a role in pain. As a result, acetaminophen helps relieve pain.

Risks and warnings for Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)

Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

Potential for misuse and addiction

  • Risk factors: Personal or family history of alcohol or substance use disorder | Personal or family history of mental health conditions

Black Box Warning Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) is a controlled substance because there's a risk for misuse and addiction. Take the medication exactly as prescribed. Don't change the dose or how often you take it without talking to your prescriber first.

blank warning iconMisusing Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) might cause the medication to work less well. It can also raise the risk for serious and possibly life-threatening side effects, such as dangerously slow breathing, inability to stay awake, addiction, and opioid overdose. You'll be prescribed the lowest amount of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) that can help manage your pain for the shortest period of time possible.

blank warning iconBecause of the risk for misuse, addiction, and overdose, Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) is only available through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program called the Opioid Analgesic REMS program. Your prescriber and pharmacy must register with the program, receive training on proper medication use, and talk with you about how to safely use Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen).

Dangerously slow breathing (respiratory depression)

  • Risk factors: Taking medications that can cause slow breathing | Drinking alcohol | Older age | Being frail | Medical conditions that cause breathing problems (e.g., COPD, asthma, head injury) | Taking too much Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)

Black Box WarningOpioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) can cause dangerously slow breathing, which can be life-threatening. This can happen to anyone and at recommended doses. But the risk is greatest when you first start treatment or when your dose goes up.

blank warning iconDon't drink alcohol while you're taking an opioid medication. And don't take opioids at the same time as other medications that slow your body down (e.g., benzodiazepines, other opioids, muscle relaxants). Doing so raises your risk of extremely slowed breathing.

blank warning iconYour prescriber might write a prescription for naloxone (Narcan), a medication that helps reverse slowed breathing from opioids. Keep it with you at all times. Use naloxone, call 911, and get medical help right away if you or your loved one notices that you have trouble breathing or have bluish-colored lips, fingers, or toes.

Opioid overdose

  • Risk factors: History of opioid use disorder | Previous opioid overdose | Taking high doses of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) | Taking more opioids than prescribed | Alcohol use

Black Box WarningTake opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) exactly as prescribed. Taking too much or taking them more often than prescribed can lead to an overdose. In addition, it can be very dangerous if someone accidentally swallows the medication. Place the opioid medication out of reach from children, pets, or visitors to prevent accidental overdose.

blank warning iconSymptoms of an opioid overdose include not responding to sound or touch, extremely slowed breathing, extreme sleepiness, slow heartbeat, and cold or clammy skin. Be sure you and your loved ones know how to recognize an overdose. Your prescriber will probably write a prescription for naloxone (Narcan), a medication that can treat an opioid overdose. Have naloxone with you at all times; use it and call 911 right away if an overdose happens.

Difficulty concentrating and extreme sleepiness

  • Risk factors: Taking high doses of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) | Age 65 years or older | Drinking alcohol | Taking other medications that can cause sleepiness

Black Box WarningOpioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) can cause extreme sleepiness. They can also lower your ability to think, react, and focus. Don't drink alcohol or take other medications that can cause sleepiness or "brain fog" (e.g., benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, sleep medications) with Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen). Doing so can worsen these side effects.

blank warning iconMake sure you know how opioid medications affect you before driving a car or doing activities that require your concentration. Talk to a healthcare professional (HCP) if you feel too sleepy after taking an opioid medication.

Liver damage

  • Risk factors: Drinking alcohol | Taking other medications containing acetaminophen | Taking too much Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) | History of liver problems

Black Box WarningVicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) contains acetaminophen. Taking too much acetaminophen can cause liver damage that can be life-threatening. The risk for liver damage is higher if you're taking more than one medication that contains acetaminophen, if you already have liver problems, or if you regularly drink alcohol.

blank warning iconLet your prescriber know about your medical history, especially if you have liver problems, before you take Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen). Also avoid drinking alcohol while you're taking this medication. Your prescriber can discuss how much acetaminophen you can take per day depending on your age and your risk for liver damage.

blank warning iconCall an HCP right away if you notice any symptoms of liver damage. These symptoms can include tiredness, dark urine, upset stomach, stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.

Drug interactions

Black Box WarningVicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) interacts with a lot of common medications. So it's important to tell your prescriber and pharmacist about the medications you're taking and planning to take with Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen). Your care team can check that your medications are safe to take together. Also talk to your care team before making any changes to your medications because sudden adjustments can also lead to harm.

blank iconSome interactions can raise the level of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) in your body. This can raise your risk for serious side effects, including potentially life-threatening slowed breathing. Examples of medications that interact this way with Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) include erythromycin, ketoconazole, and ritonavir (Norvir).

blank iconOther drug interactions can lower the levels of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) in your body. This can cause the opioid medication to work less well for pain and possibly lead to withdrawal symptoms. These interactions include taking Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) with rifampin (Rifadin) or carbamazepine (Tegretol).

Harm to newborn babies

Black Box Warning Long-term use of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) during pregnancy can cause your unborn baby to become dependent on the medication. This is because the opioid (hydrocodone) can pass through the placenta to your unborn baby.

blank iconOnce your baby is born, they can experience withdrawal symptoms, such as high-pitched crying, poor feeding behavior, abnormal sleep patterns, and seizures. These symptoms can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated in time. Let your HCP know if you've used Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) or any other opioids during pregnancy or if you notice these symptoms in your baby.

Severe allergic reactions and skin reactions

  • Risk factors: Allergy to other opioids

Severe allergic reactions to Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) are possible, including life-threatening reactions like facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis (e.g., closing of the throat). Though rare, acetaminophen can also cause serious skin reactions, like rash, blisters, skin reddening, or skin peeling. Get medical help right away if you notice unusual changes in your skin, swelling of the lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing.

Physical dependence and withdrawal

  • Risk factors: Long-term use of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)

Opioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) can cause physical dependence when they're taken for a long time. This means that your body starts to rely on the medication to function. You might experience withdrawal if you suddenly stop taking the medication or lower your dose too fast. Withdrawal symptoms can be bothersome and include anxiety, restlessness, irritability, sweating, and chills.

Don't lower your dose or stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your prescriber first. Your prescriber will slowly lower your dose to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your prescriber about alternative pain medications if you have concerns about the risk for dependence and withdrawal with opioid use.

Low blood pressure

Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) and other opioids can cause extremely low blood pressure. Your blood pressure might drop when you stand from a sitting or lying down position. This can lead to dizziness and fainting. To avoid falling, get up slowly if you've been sitting or lying down. Talk to your HCP if any dizziness or lightheadedness doesn't go away.

Low adrenal hormone levels

  • Risk factors: Taking Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) for longer than 1 month

Some people who take opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) have had low adrenal hormone levels. This might be more likely to happen after taking opioids for longer than 1 month. Symptoms include tiredness, dizziness, weakness, not feeling hungry, and nausea. Call an HCP if you have these symptoms. If your adrenal hormone levels are too low, you might need to stop Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) and get treated with corticosteroids.

Seizures

  • Risk factors: History of seizure conditions

Opioids such as hydrocodone can raise the risk of having seizures more often in people who've had one before. Opioid medications can also raise your risk of seizures in certain situations. Get medical help right away if you have a seizure while you're taking this medication.

Pharmacist tips for Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)

pharmacist
  • Constipation is a common side effect when you take opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen). Stay hydrated and add more fiber to your diet. Speak with your care team if these tips aren't enough to help with constipation. Your prescriber can recommend medications or a change in your pain treatment.
  • Opioid medications can make you sleepy or dizzy. They can also lower how clearly you can think or how fast you can react. Don't drive or do activities that need your attention until you know how opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) affect you.
  • Don't drink alcohol while you're taking opioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen). Alcohol can worsen sleepiness and dizziness and make it hard for you to think clearly. Taking Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) with alcohol can also harm your liver.
  • Take opioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) exactly as prescribed. Don't change your dose or stop taking the medication without talking to your prescriber. Your prescriber might lower your dose slowly over time before you can completely stop the medication. This helps prevent bothersome withdrawal symptoms like muscle aches, chills, and trouble sleeping.
  • Your prescriber will discuss about having naloxone (Narcan) with you at all times. Naloxone is a medication that can help reverse the effects of opioid medications in situations like very slowed breathing or an accidental overdose. Teach your loved ones about how to give naloxone to you if you can't do it yourself. Call 911 right away if you need to use naloxone because this is a medical emergency.
  • Place opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) out of reach from children, pets, and visitors. Find a drug take-back location to safely get rid of the medication if you don't need it anymore. This helps lessen the risk for accidental overdose and medication misuse.
faq-icon

Common questions about Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen)

Yes. Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) is a combination medication that has an opioid called hydrocodone in it. The other ingredient is acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol.

Yes, opioid medications like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) have a risk for addiction. It's one of the reasons why opioids are considered controlled substances. Addiction can happen as a result of misuse, or when a medication is used for non-medical reasons for its desirable physical or emotional effects. Signs of addiction include having cravings to use the medication, continuing to use the medication even though you have negative consequences from it, and having withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. Take opioid medications exactly as prescribed to you. Don't change the dose or how often you take it without talking to your prescriber. Talk with your prescriber if you're concerned about the risk for addiction.

Yes, opioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) can make you sleepy. Let your prescriber and care team know if you're taking other medications that make you sleepy, such as benzodiazepines or muscle relaxants. Mixing opioids with these types of medications or alcohol can make sleepiness more intense. Avoid alcohol while you're taking opioids. Also avoid driving or doing anything that requires concentration until you know how Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) affects you.

It takes about 30 minutes for Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) to start working to relieve pain.

Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) and Percocet (oxycodone / acetaminophen) are both pain medications that contain a combination of an opioid and acetaminophen. But the opioid is different: Vicodin contains hydrocodone, and Percocet contains oxycodone. Some studies comparing these opioids showed that they generally work just as well as each other for pain. Nausea and dizziness occurred less often in people who took acetaminophen with hydrocodone than with oxycodone. But another study found that constipation from hydrocodone was more common than from oxycodone. Speak with your prescriber to learn more about the differences between Vicodin and Percocet.

Norco and Vicodin are brand-name medications that contain the same two active ingredients, hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Both brand-name medications have strengths that contain 5 mg, 7.5 mg, or 10 mg of hydrocodone. But Vicodin and Norco contain differing amounts of acetaminophen. Both Vicodin and Norco brand names have been discontinued and aren't available in the United States anymore. But there are generic hydrocodone/acetaminophen tablets that are still available.

Opioids like Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) generally aren't recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits are clearly greater than the risks. Taking opioids while you're expecting can raise the risk of developmental and growth problems in your baby. Your unborn baby can become dependent on the opioid and then develop neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome after they're born. This is a serious, life-threatening problem that happens when your newborn baby has opioid withdrawal symptoms, like poor feeding and sucking behavior, abnormal sleep patterns, and possibly seizures. Your baby will need immediate medical care if this happens. Discuss with your prescriber about the risks and benefits of Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) if you're pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant. There might be safer options for you.

Discuss with your prescriber about the risks and benefits of taking Vicodin (hydrocodone / acetaminophen) while you're breastfeeding. If you need to breastfeed, it's usually recommended to try non-opioid pain medications first before considering opioid medications. This is because the hydrocodone in this combination medication can get into breast milk. Breastfeeding your baby while you're taking this opioid medication can raise the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening side effects in your baby. These side effects can include sleepiness, slowed breathing or other breathing problems, slowed heartbeat, and limpness. Speak with your prescriber about other options that might be safer, like switching to another medication or using baby formula instead.
