hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Rx)

Moderate to Severe Pain

1-2 tablets (2.5-10 mg hydrocodone; 300-325 mg acetaminophen) PO q4-6hr PRN

Acetaminophen: Not to exceed 1 g/dose or 4 g/24 hr

Hydrocodone: Maximum daily dose should not exceed 60 mg/24 hr

Dosing Modifications

Hepatic impairment: Avoid chronic use or high doses of acetaminophen (ie, >4 g/day) in hepatic impairment

Dosing Consideration

Access to naloxone for opioid overdose

• Assess need for naloxone upon initiating and renewing treatment

• Consider prescribing naloxone

  • Based on patient’s risk factors for overdose (eg, concomitant use of CNS depressants, a history of opioid use disorder, prior opioid overdose); presence of risk factors should not prevent proper pain management
  • Household members (including children) or other close contacts at risk for accidental ingestion or overdose

• Consult patients and caregivers on the following:

  • Availability of naloxone for emergency treatment of opioid overdose
  • Ways differ on how to obtain naloxone as permitted by individual state dispensing and prescribing requirements or guidelines (eg, by prescription, directly from a pharmacist, as part of a community-based program)

Moderate to Severe Pain

<2 years: Safety and efficacy not established

2-12 years: 0.135 mg/kg hydrocodone PO q4-6hr PRN  

>12 years: 1-2 tablets (2.5-10 mg hydrocodone; 300-325 mg acetaminophen) PO q4-6hr PRN

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.
