Contraindicated (1)
- alvimopan
alvimopan, hydrocodone. receptor binding competition. Contraindicated. Alvimopan is contraindicated in opioid tolerant patients (ie, those who have taken therapeutic doses of opioids for >7 consecutive days immediately prior to taking alvimopan). Patients recently exposed to opioids are expected to be more sensitive to the effects of alvimopan and therefore may experience abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. No significant interaction is expected with concurrent use of opioid analgesics and alvimopan in patients who received opioid analgesics for 7 or fewer consecutive days prior to alvimopan.

Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Addiction, abuse, and misuse
- Long-acting hydrocodone exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death
- Assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing, and monitor all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors or conditions
Life-threatening respiratory depression
- Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur
- Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation or following a dose increase
- Instruct patients to swallow capsules/tablets whole; crushing, chewing, or dissolving the extended-release dosage forms can cause rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose of hydrocodone
Accidental exposure
- Accidental consumption of even 1 dose of hydrocodone, especially by children, can result in a fatal overdose of hydrocodone
Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome
- For patients who require opioid therapy while pregnant, be aware that infants may require treatment for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome
- Prolonged maternal use during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening and requires management according to protocols developed by neonatology experts
Interaction with CNS depressants
- Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death
- Reserve concomitant prescribing for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate
- Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required; and follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation
- Coingestion of with alcohol may increase hydrocodone plasma levels and result in a potentially fatal overdose (alters release of drug from capsule)
Interaction with CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Initiation of CYP3A4 inhibitors (or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inducers) can result in a fatal overdose of hydrocodone
Cardiovascular Risk
- NSAIDs may increase risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke, which can be fatal
- Risk may increase with duration of use
- Patients with risk factors for or existing cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk
- NSAIDs are contraindicated for perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (increased risk of MI & stroke)
Gastrointestinal Risk
- NSAIDs increase risk of serious GI adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal
- GI adverse events may occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms
- Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious GI events
Contraindications
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, treatment of peri-operative pain; increased incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke
Relative: bleeding disorder, duodenal/gastric/peptic ulcer, stomatitis, SLE, ulcerative colitis, upper GI disease, late pregnancy (may cause premature closure of ductus), urticaria, or allergic-type reactions following aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents
Significant respiratory depression
Acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in the absence of resuscitative equipment
Known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus
Known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reactions, serious skin reactions) to hydrocodone, ibuprofen, or any components of the drug product.
Patients known to be hypersensitive to other opioids may exhibit cross-sensitivity
History of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs
Cautions
Hydrocodone may cause spasm of sphincter of Oddi; opioids maycause increases in serum amylase; monitor patients with biliary tract disease, including acute pancreatitis, for worsening symptoms
Hydrocodone may increase frequency of seizures in patients with seizure disorders, and may increase risk of seizures occurring in other clinical settings associated with seizures; monitor patients with a history of seizure disorders for worsened seizure control during therapy
Avoid use of mixed agonist/antagonist (eg, pentazocine, nalbuphine, and butorphanol) or partial agonist (eg, buprenorphine) analgesics in patients who are receiving a full opioid agonist analgesic; in these patients, mixed agonist/antagonist and partial agonist analgesics may reduce analgesic effect and/or precipitate withdrawal symptoms; when discontinuing therapy in a physically-dependent patient, gradually taper the dosage; do not abruptly discontinue therapy in these patients
Therapy may impair mental or physical abilities needed to perform potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car or operating machinery; warn patients not to drive or operate dangerous machinery unless they are tolerant to effects of this drug and know how they will react to the medication
Increases in serum potassium concentration, including hyperkalemia, reported with use of NSAIDs, even in some patients without renal impairment; in patients with normal renal function, those effects have been attributed to a hyporeninemic-hypoaldosteronism state
Ibuprofen has been associated with anaphylactic reactions in patients with and without known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen and in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma; seek emergency help if an anaphylactic reaction occurs
A subpopulation of patients with asthma may have aspirin-sensitive asthma which may include chronic rhinosinusitis complicated by nasal polyps; severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm; and/or intolerance to aspirin and other NSAIDs; because cross-reactivity between aspirin and other NSAIDs has been reported in such aspirin-sensitive patients, this drug is contraindicated in patients with this form of aspirin sensitivity; when used in patients with pre-existing asthma (without known aspirin sensitivity), monitor patients for changes in signs and symptoms of asthma
NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, can cause serious skin adverse events such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal; these serious events may occur without warning. inform patients about signs and symptoms of serious skin reactions, and to discontinue use at first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity; this drug is contraindicated in patients with previous serious skin reactions to NSAIDs
Aseptic meningitis with fever and coma has been observed on rare occasions in patients on ibuprofen therapy; although more likely to occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and related connective tissue diseases, it has been reported in patients who do not have an underlying chronic disease; if signs or symptoms of meningitis develop, possibility of being related to ibuprofen should be considered
Pharmacological activity of this drug combination in reducing inflammation, and possibly fever, may diminish the utility of diagnostic signs in detecting infections
Blurred or diminished vision, scotomata, and changes in color vision reported with oral ibuprofen; discontinue therapy if a patient develops such complaints, and refer the patient for an ophthalmologic examination that includes central visual fields and color vision testing
Hypertension
- Therapy, can lead to new onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, either of which may contribute to increased incidence of CV events; patients taking angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, thiazide diuretics, or loop diuretics may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs; monitor blood pressure (BP) during initiation of NSAID treatment and throughout the course of therapy
Addiction, abuse and misuse
- Therapy exposes users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse; although risk of addiction in any individual is unknown, it can occur in patients appropriately prescribed this drug; addiction can occur at recommended dosages and if drug is misused or abused
- Risks of addiction are increased in patients with personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (eg, major depression)
- The potential for these risks should not, however, prevent proper management of pain in any given patient; patients at increased risk may be prescribed opioid-containing products such as this drug, but use in such patients necessitates intensive counseling about risks and proper use of this drug along with intensive monitoring for signs of addiction, abuse, and misuse
- Opioids are sought by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders, and are subject to criminal diversion; consider these risks when prescribing or dispensing this medication
- Strategies to reduce these risks include prescribing drug in the smallest appropriate quantity and advising patient on proper disposal of unused drug; contact local state professional licensing board or state controlled substances authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product
Adrenal insufficiency
- Cases of adrenal insufficiency reported with opioid use, more often following greater than one month of use; presentation of adrenal insufficiency may include non-specific symptoms and signs including nausea, vomiting, anorexia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and low blood pressure
- If adrenal insufficiency is suspected, confirm diagnosis with diagnostic testing as soon as possible; if adrenal insufficiency is diagnosed, treat with physiologic replacement doses of corticosteroids; wean patient off of the opioid to allow adrenal function to recover and continue corticosteroid treatment until adrenal function recovers
- Other opioids may be tried as some cases reported use of a different opioid without recurrence of adrenal insufficiency; the information available does not identify any particular opioids as being more likely to be associated with adrenal insufficiency
Severe hypotension
- This drug may cause severe hypotension including orthostatic hypotension and syncope in ambulatory patients; there is increased risk in patients whose ability to maintain blood pressure has already been compromised by a reduced blood volume or concurrent administration of certain CNS depressant drugs (eg, phenothiazines or general anesthetics)
- Monitor these patients for signs of hypotension after initiating or titrating the dosage; in patients with circulatory shock, this drug may cause vasodilation that can further reduce cardiac output and blood pressure; avoid use in patients with circulatory shock
Increased cranial pressure, brain tumors, head injury, or impaired consciousness
- In patients who may be susceptible to intracranial effects of CO2 retention (eg, those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors), this drug may reduce respiratory drive, and the resultant CO2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure
- Monitor such patients for signs of sedation and respiratory depression, particularly when initiating therapy; opioids may also obscure the clinical course in a patient with a head injury; avoid use in patients with impaired consciousness or coma
Life-threatening respiratory depression
- Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression reported with use of opioids, even when used as recommended; respiratory depression, if not immediately recognized and treated, may lead to respiratory arrest and death
- Management of respiratory depression may include close observation, supportive measures, and use of opioid antagonists, depending on patient’s clinical status; carbon dioxide (CO2 ) retention from opioid-induced respiratory depression can exacerbate sedating effects of opioids
- While serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression can occur at any time during use of this medication, the risk is greatest during initiation of therapy or following a dosage increase
- Monitor patients closely for respiratory depression, especially within first 24-72 hours of initiating therapy with and following dosage increases
- To reduce risk of respiratory depression, proper dosing and titration of this drug are essential; overestimating dosage when converting patients from another opioid product can result in fatal overdose with first dose
- Accidental ingestion of even one dose of this drug, especially by children, can result in respiratory depression and death due to overdose
Life-threatening respiratory depression in patients with chronic pulmonary disease
- Use in patients with acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or absence of resuscitative equipment contraindicated
- Treated patients with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale, and those with a substantially decreased respiratory reserve, hypoxia, hypercapnia, or pre-existing respiratory depression are at increased risk of decreased respiratory drive including apnea, even at recommended dosages
- Life-threatening respiratory depression is more likely to occur in elderly, cachectic, or debilitated patients because they may have altered pharmacokinetics or altered clearance compared to younger, healthier patients; monitor such patients closely, particularly when initiating and titrating this drug and when is given concomitantly with other drugs that depress respiration; alternatively, consider use of non-opioid analgesics in these patients
Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome
- Prolonged use of therapy during pregnancy can result in withdrawal in the neonate; neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, unlike opioid withdrawal syndrome in adults, may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated, and requires management according to protocols developed by neonatology experts
- Observe newborns for signs of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly; advise pregnant women using opioids for a prolonged period of risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available
Cardiovascular thrombotic events
- Increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke, which can be fatal reported; it is unclear that the risk for CV thrombotic events is similar for all NSAIDs
- The relative increase in serious CV thrombotic events over baseline conferred by NSAID use appears to be similar in those with and without known CV disease or risk factors for CV disease; however, patients with known CV disease or risk factors had a higher absolute incidence of excess serious CV thrombotic events, due to their increased baseline rate
- Some observational studies found that this increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events began as early as first weeks of treatment; the increase in CV thrombotic risk has been observed most consistently at higher doses
- To minimize potential risk for an adverse CV event in NSAID-treated patients, use lowest effective dose for shortest duration possible; physicians and patients should remain alert for development of such events, throughout entire treatment course, even in absence of previous CV symptoms; patients should be informed about symptoms of serious CV events and steps to take if they occur
- There is no consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with NSAID use; the concurrent use of aspirin and an NSAID, such as ibuprofen, increases risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) events
- Avoid use in patients with a recent MI unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of recurrent CV thrombotic events; if this drug is used in patients with a recent MI, monitor patients for signs of cardiac ischemia
Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation
- NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, cause serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, or large intestine, which can be fatal; these serious adverse events can occur at any time, with or without warning symptoms, in patients treated with this drug
- Only one in five patients who develop a serious upper GI adverse event on NSAID therapy is symptomatic; upper GI ulcers, gross bleeding, or perforation caused by NSAIDs reported in patients treated for one year; however, even short-term NSAID therapy is not without risk
- Patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or gastrointestinal bleeding who used NSAIDs have increased risk for developing a GI bleed compared to patients without these risk factors
- Other factors that increase risk for GI bleeding in patients treated with NSAIDs include longer duration of NSAID therapy; concomitant use of oral corticosteroids, aspirin, anticoagulants, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); smoking; use of alcohol; older age; and poor general health status
- Most postmarketing reports of fatal GI events occurred in elderly or debilitated patients; additionally, patients with advanced liver disease and/or coagulopathy are at increased risk for GI bleeding
-
Strategies to minimize the GI risks in NSAID-treated patients:
- Use lowest effective dosage for shortest possible duration
- Avoid administration of more than one NSAID at a time
- Avoid use in patients at higher risk unless benefits are expected to outweigh increased risk of bleeding
- For high risk patients, as well as those with active GI bleeding, consideralternate therapies other than NSAIDs
- Remain alert for signs and symptoms of GI ulceration and bleeding during NSAID therapy
- If a serious GI adverse event is suspected, promptly initiate evaluation and treatment, and discontinue therapy until a serious GI adverse event ruled out
- In setting of concomitant use of low-dose aspirin for cardiac prophylaxis, monitor patients more closely for evidence of GI bleeding
Hepatotoxicity
- Elevations of ALT or AST (three or more times the upper limit of normal [ULN]) reported in NSAID-treated patients in clinical trials with NSAIDS; in addition, rare, sometimes fatal, cases of severe hepatic injury, including fulminant hepatitis, liver necrosis, and hepatic failure reported
- Elevations of ALT or AST (<3X ULN) may occur; inform patients of warning signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity (eg, nausea, fatigue,lethargy, diarrhea, pruritus, jaundice, right upper quadrant tenderness, and “flulike” symptoms)
- If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, or if systemic manifestations occur (eg, eosinophilia, rash, etc), discontinue therapy immediately, and perform a clinical evaluation of patient
Heart failure and edema
- Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated approximately two-fold increase in hospitalizations for heart failure in COX-2 selective-treated patients and nonselective NSAID-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients
- In a Danish National Registry study of patients with heart failure,NSAID use increased risk of MI, hospitalization for heart failure, and death; additionally, fluid retention and edema reported in some patients treated with NSAIDs
- Use of this medication may blunt the CV effects of several therapeutic agents used to treat these medical conditions (eg, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers[ARBs])
- Avoid use in patients with severe heart failure unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of worsening heart failure; if this drug is used in patients with severe heart failure, monitor patients for signs of worsening heart failure
Renal toxicity and hyperkalemia
- Long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury; renal toxicity has also been seen in patients in whom renal prostaglandins have a compensatory role in the maintenance of renal perfusion; in these patients, administration of an NSAID may cause a dose-dependent reduction in prostaglandin formation and, secondarily, in renal blood flow, which may precipitate overt renal decompensation
- Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, dehydration, hypovolemia, heart failure, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and the elderly; discontinuation of NSAID therapy was usually followed by recovery to pretreatment state
- No information is available from controlled clinical studies regarding use of this medication in patients with advanced renal disease; the renal effects of this drug may hasten the progression of renal dysfunction in patients with pre-existing renal disease
- Correct volume status in dehydrated or hypovolemic patients prior to initiating this medication; monitor renal function in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, heart failure, dehydration, or hypovolemia during use
- Avoid use in patients with advanced renal disease unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of worsening renal function; if used in patients with advanced renal disease, monitor patients for signs of worsening renal function
Hematologic toxicity
- Anemia has occurred in NSAID-treated patients; this may be due to occult or gross blood loss, fluid retention, or an incompletely described effect on erythropoiesis
- If treated patient treated has any signs or symptoms of anemia, monitor hemoglobin or hematocrit; NSAID-containing products, may increase risk of bleeding events
- Co-morbid conditions such as coagulation disorders, concomitant use of warfarin, other anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (eg, aspirin), serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may increase risk; monitor these patients for signs of bleeding
Drug interaction overview
-
Concomitant use or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers
- Concomitant use of this medication with a CYP3A4 inhibitor, such as macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (eg, ketoconazole), and protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), may increase plasma concentrations of hydrocodone and prolong opioid adversereactions, which may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose is achieved
- Similarly, discontinuation of a CYP3A4 inducer, such asrifampin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin, in treated patients may increase hydrocodone plasma concentrations and prolong opioid adverse reactions
- When using this medication with CYP3A4 inhibitors or discontinuing CYP3A4 inducers in treated patients, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider dosage reduction until stable drug effects are achieved
- Concomitant use of this drug with CYP3A4 inducers or discontinuation of a CYP3A4 inhibitor could decrease hydrocodone plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy or, possibly, lead to a withdrawal syndrome in a patient who had developed physical dependence to hydrocodone
- When using this drug with CYP3A4 inducers or discontinuing CYP3A4inhibitors, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider increasing the opioid dosage if needed to maintain adequate analgesia or if symptoms of opioid withdrawal occur
-
Benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants
- Profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death may result from concomitant use of this drug with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants (eg, non-benzodiazepine sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics, antipsychotics, other opioids, alcohol)
- Because of these risks, reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate
- Observational studies have demonstrated that concomitant use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines increases risk of drug-related mortality compared to use of opioid analgesics alone; because of similar pharmacological properties, it is reasonable to expect similar risk with concomitant use of other CNS depressant drugs with opioid analgesics
- If decision is made to prescribe a benzodiazepine or other CNS depressant concomitantly with an opioid analgesic, prescribe lowest effective dosages and minimum durations of concomitant use; in patients already receiving an opioid analgesic, prescribe a lower initial dose of benzodiazepine or other CNS depressant than indicated in absence of an opioid, and titrate based on clinical response
- If an opioid analgesic is initiated in a patient already taking a benzodiazepine or other CNS depressant, prescribe a lower initial dose of opioid analgesic, and titrate based on clinical response
- Follow patients closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation; advise both patients and caregivers about risks of respiratory depression and sedation when this drug is used with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants (including alcohol and illicit drugs)
- Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until effects of concomitant use of benzodiazepine or other CNS depressant have been determined; screen patients for risk of substance use disorders, including opioid abuse and misuse, and warn them of risk for overdose and death associated with use of additional CNS depressants including alcohol and illicit drugs
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Prolonged use of opioid analgesics during pregnancy can cause neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome; there are no available data in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage; published studies with morphine use during pregnancy have not reported a clear association with opioids and major birth defects
Prolonged use of opioid analgesics during pregnancy for medical or nonmedical purposes can result in physical dependence in the neonate and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome shortly after birth; the onset, duration, and severity of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome vary based on specific opioid used, duration of use, timing and amount of last maternal use, and rate of elimination of drug by newborn; observe newborns for symptoms of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly
Lactation
Drug is present in breast milk; published lactation studies report variable concentrations of drug in breast milk with administration of immediate-release formulation to nursing mothers in early postpartum period
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy; capsules and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from therapy or from underlying maternal condition
Monitor infants exposed to drug through breast milk for excess sedation and respiratory depression; withdrawal symptoms can occur in breastfed infants when maternal administration of an opioid analgesic is stopped, or when breast- feeding is stopped
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Hydrocodone: Binds to opiate receptors in the CNS, which in turn produces generalized CNS depression and alters perception and response to pain
Ibuprofen: Inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins in body tissues by inhibiting cyclooxygenase; at least 2 isoenzymes, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) & -2 (COX-2); has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties
Metabolism
Hydrocodone: by liver (O-demethylation, N-demethylation, 6-keto reduction); hepatic P450 enzyme CYP2D6
Ibuprofen: rapid hepatic oxidation to inactive metabolites: (+)-2-[4'-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl) phenyl] propionic acid (metabolite A), (+)-2-[4'-(2-carboxypropyl) phenyl] propionic acid (metabolite B)
Elimination
Excretion
- Hydrocodone: Mainly urine
- Ibuprofen: Urine 50-60% (<10% unchanged)
Half-Life
- Hydrocodone: 3.3-4.4 hr
- Ibuprofen: 2-4 hr
Absorption
Onset: 0.5 hr (ibuprofen)
Bioavailability 80-90% (ibuprofen)
Vd: 0.12 L/kg (ibuprofen)
Protein Bound: 90-99% (ibuprofen)
Peak Plasma Time
- Hydrocodone: 1.3 hr
- Ibuprofen: 2 hr
Duration
- Hydrocodone: 4-8 hr
- Ibuprofen: 4-6 hr
Pharmacogenomics
Hydrocodone is metabolized to Hydromorphone via CYP2D6; CYP2D6 poor metabolizers may not achieve adequate analgesia
Ultra-rapid metabolizers (up to 7% of Caucasians and up to 30% of Asian and African populations) may have increased toxicity due to rapid conversion
