hydrocodone / acetaminophen

Generic Hycet
Used for Pain

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution, most commonly known by the brand name Hycet, is a combination medication that contains an opioid and an analgesic. It's used to manage pain for people who've tried non-opioid medications but haven't gotten enough pain relief from them. This medication is taken by mouth. It can cause side effects like constipation, nausea, and sleepiness. This medication is a controlled substance because of its risk for misuse and dependency.

Please note: Although all brand names of the oral solution are discontinued, it's now only available as a generic.

What is Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution?

What is Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution used for?

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

How Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution works

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution is a controlled substance because it has 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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, not able to stay awake, addiction, and opioid overdose. You'll be prescribed the lowest amount of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution that's necessary to manage your pain for the shortest period of time possible.

blank warning iconBecause of the risk for misuse, addiction, and overdose, hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 discuss with you about how to use hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution safely.

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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution

Black Box WarningHydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. And don't take the opioid medication with 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 can reverse slowed breathing from opioids. Your prescriber will instruct you to carry 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.

Risk for opioid overdose

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

Black Box Warning Take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution exactly as prescribed. Taking too much medication or taking it more often than prescribed can lead to an overdose. It can be very dangerous if someone accidentally swallows the medication. Be sure to keep the opioid medication out of reach from children, pets, or visitors to prevent accidental exposure or 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. Carry 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution | Age 65 years or older | Drinking alcohol | Taking other medications that can cause sleepiness

Black Box WarningHydrocodone/acetaminophen solution can cause extreme sleepiness and 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. Doing so can worsen these side effects.

blank warning iconMake sure you know how hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution affects you before driving a car or doing activities that require your concentration. Talk to a healthcare professional (HCP) if you feel too sleepy from the medication.

Liver damage

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

Black Box WarningThis opioid medication 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. 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 WarningHydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 this opioid medication. Your care team can check that your medications are safe to take together. Also talk to your care team first before making any changes to your medications because sudden dose adjustments can also lead to harm.

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

blank iconOther drug interactions can lower the levels of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution with rifampin (Rifadin) or carbamazepine (Tegretol).

Harm to newborn babies

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

Once your baby is born, they can experience withdrawal symptoms, such as high-pitched crying, poor feeding behavior, trembling, abnormal sleep patterns, and seizures. This condition is called neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated in time. Let your HCP know if you've used hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution are possible, including life-threatening reactions like facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis (e.g., closing of the throat). Additionally, acetaminophen can rarely cause serious skin reactions, such as rash, blisters, skin reddening, or skin peeling. Get medical attention right away if you notice these types of changes in your skin, swelling of the lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing after you take this medication.

Physical dependence and withdrawal

  • Risk factors: Long-term use of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution can cause physical dependence when it's taken for a long period of 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, runny nose, 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution.

Low blood pressure

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution for longer than 1 month

Some people taking opioid medications like hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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, nausea, and vomiting. Tell your HCP if you have these symptoms. If your adrenal hormone levels are too low, you might need to stop hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution and be 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. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution 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 Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution

pharmacist
  • Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution comes in a few different strengths that have different amounts of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Make sure you know which strength you have and your prescribed dose to avoid accidentally taking the wrong amount per dose. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist if you're not sure about the strength and dose that you've been prescribed to take.
  • Only use a medication dose cup or oral syringe from the pharmacy to measure out your dose of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. Don't use household spoons because they aren't accurate and using them might cause you to take the wrong dose.
  • Constipation is a common side effect of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. Drink plenty of water every day and add more fiber to your diet. Speak with your care team if these suggestions aren't enough to help with constipation. They can recommend certain medications or a change in your pain treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol while you're taking hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. Alcohol can worsen opioid side effects like sleepiness and dizziness. It can also lower how clearly you can think or how fast you can react, as well as damage your liver.
  • Take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution exactly as your prescriber instructed you to. Don't change your dose or stop taking it without talking to your prescriber first. Your prescriber might lower your dose slowly over a span of time before you can completely stop the medication. This helps lower your risk for bothersome withdrawal symptoms like muscle aches and chills.
  • Always have naloxone (Narcan) with you if it's been prescribed for you. Naloxone is a medication that can help reverse the effects of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution in situations like an accidental overdose. Discuss with your loved ones about how to give naloxone to you if you can't do it yourself. Be sure to call 911 if you need to use naloxone because you'll need more medical attention.
  • Store hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution at room temperature and keep it in the original container from the pharmacy.
  • Keep hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution away from children, pets, or visitors. Ask your pharmacist about drug take-back options to get rid of the medication if you don't need to take it anymore safely. This lessens the risk for accidental overdose and medication misuse.

Common questions about Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution

Yes. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution is a combination medication that has an opioid called hydrocodone. The other ingredient is acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol.

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution is typically prescribed for use up to every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief. But your prescriber might change how often you should take it (for example, less often). This usually depends on your pain level, your medical condition(s), and the other medications you're taking. Be sure to take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution only as prescribed so that the medication is as safe as possible for you. It's best to take the lowest dose of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution for the shortest amount of time possible. Talk to your prescriber about how often you should take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution to manage your pain safely.

Yes, it's generally safe to take ibuprofen (Advil) or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) with hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. It's actually usually recommended to take non-opioid pain medications like ibuprofen (Advil) for more pain relief. This helps lower the amount of opioids you take and lessen the risks related to opioid use. But ask your prescriber or pharmacist first whether ibuprofen (Advil) is safe for you to take if you have kidney problems, heart problems, or recent heart attack.

It's best to avoid taking hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution with Tylenol. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution already contains acetaminophen, which is commonly known as Tylenol. Taking more than one medication that contains acetaminophen can raise your risk of accidentally taking too much acetaminophen. This can lead to serious liver damage. Ask your pharmacist to help you choose an over-the-counter product that doesn't have acetaminophen in it for more pain relief or for fever.

Taking too many doses of hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution can lead to an opioid overdose, which can be life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of an overdose include pale skin, blue lips and fingernails, slowed breathing, small pupils, not being able to speak, and unconsciousness. Since this medication contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), taking too much can cause liver problems as well. Take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution exactly as prescribed. And call 911 right away if you or a loved one notices any signs or symptoms of an opioid overdose.

Yes, hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution has a risk for addiction. This is one of the reasons why the medication is a schedule II controlled substance. 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. Examples of signs of addiction are cravings for the medication, continued medication use even though you have negative consequences from it, and withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. Take hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution exactly as prescribed to you. Don't change the dose or how often you take it without talking to your prescriber first. Talk with your prescriber if you're concerned about the risk for addiction.

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution generally isn't recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits of the medication are clearly greater than the risks. Taking opioids while pregnant raises the risk of developmental and growth problems in your baby. Additionally, your unborn baby can become dependent on the opioid medication. Then once born, your baby can develop serious and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like poor feeding and sucking behavior, abnormal sleep patterns, and possibly seizures. Your baby will need immediate treatment if this happens. Contact your prescriber to discuss the risks and benefits of taking hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution if you're pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant. There might be safer options available.

Speak with your healthcare team about the risks and benefits of taking hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution while you're breastfeeding. If you need to breastfeed, it's generally recommended to try non-opioid pain medications first before considering hydrocodone/acetaminophen solution. The hydrocodone in this combination medication can get into breast milk. This can raise the risk for your nursing baby to have serious and potentially life-threatening side effects, such as sleepiness, shallow or slowed breathing, slowed heartbeat, and limpness. Discuss with your prescriber about other options that might be safer, like switching to another medication or using baby formula instead.
