Zydone

Zydone ® is the brand name for tablets made up of two drugs, Hydrocodone Bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone Bitartrate belongs to a class of drugs called opioid analgesics.  Doctors may need to adjust the prescribed dosage for those taking Zydone periodically. Never attempt to adjust this on your own. Therefore always consult with your physician first. Hydrocodone may be habit-forming, so take this medication exactly as directed. Never take Zydone ® more frequently or in higher doses until consulting with your healthcare professional.

What is Zydone Used for

In essence, medical professionals prescribe Zydone ® for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain. Additionally, there are three strengths of the drug, all of which have 400 mg of acetaminophen. The hydrocodone strengths are 5 mg, 7.5 mg, and 10 mg. Hydrocodone is an opiate analgesic and cough suppressant. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a milder pain reliever and non-narcotic. Combining the two main ingredients is marketed under various names, including Vicodin, Norco, Lortab, and Lorcet. Hydrocodone attaches to the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to block pain. Also, Acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins and increases pain-relieving power. Hydrocodone can be habit-forming if not used as prescribed. In essence, it is derived from the opium plant and classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the U.S., meaning it has the potential to be abused and cause dependence.

Zydone Warnings

Zydone is intended to be taken whole. Crushing, chewing, or snorting opiate drugs can lead to severe side effects or overdose. As with other opiates, warnings from manufacturers say people should not take Zydone more often than needed or in larger doses than prescribed. Anyone with more than three alcoholic drinks per day or cirrhosis of the liver should talk to a doctor before taking any medication with acetaminophen. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious liver damage. The maximum recommended amount of acetaminophen for an adult is 1,000 mg per dose and 4,000 mg in a day. Doctors recommend knowing the amount of acetaminophen in each medication you take. Zydone can impair motor skills, affect reaction time, and cause changes in mood and thought processes. Warnings on the prescription say people be cautious when driving or performing other tasks that require alertness.

Possible Side Effects Of Zydone

The most commonly reported side effects are:

  • Constipation
  • Upset stomach
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Dry mouth

Serious side effects include:

  • Allergic reaction
  • Clammy skin
  • Seizures
  • Extreme weakness
  • Unconsciousness
  • Jaundice
  • Bleeding
  • Bruising
  • Decreased appetite
  • Hot flashes
  • Rash
  • Itching
  • Swelling
  • Hearing loss
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Muscle twitches

Because of the hydrocodone, Zydone can also depress the central nervous system. Additionally, other side effects, which may attract some recreational users, include extreme relaxation, euphoria, and drowsiness.

Zydone Detox, Dependency, Withdrawal and Tolerance

When taken as directed, Zydone can be a useful tool in pain relief. However, prolonged use of opiates can lead to tolerance and dependence. Tolerance occurs when the drug builds up in the system, requiring people to take more to achieve the same pain-relieving effects. In fact, a tell-tale sign of dependence is a strong craving for the drug. Once addicted, withdrawal symptoms can set in. Consequently, these withdrawal symptoms include muscle and bone pain, insomnia, restlessness, diarrhea, vomiting, other flu-like symptoms, and involuntary leg movements. Overdosing on Zydone or other opiates can be fatal. With this in mind, kicking a Zydone addiction can be difficult. Many users delay treatment because of a fear of withdrawal. Numerous treatment options are available for opiate dependence. They include hospital-based detoxification, rehabilitation, faith or therapy-based programs, and rapid drug detox.

"A dear friend underwent rapid detox at the Waismann Method and all we can say is “THANK YOU”. My friend had (for years) been in a seemingly endless cycle of rehab and relapse. Even at some of the top rehabs, he still seemed to find his way back to opiates. I’m so grateful to say that it’s been almost a full year since his treatment at the Waismann Method and he is better than ever! He is finally himself again. Thank you to the caring, knowledgeable, warm and patient staff that supported and assisted my friend from start to finish! It was a blessing that we heard about the Waismann Method - our only wish is that we tried it sooner!"
