VICODIN HP contains more hydrocodone (a narcotic analgesic) which is more potent than acetaminophen. VICODIN ES contains more acetaminophen. The maximum dosage of acetaminophen should not exceed 4000 mg daily which is why the maximum daily dosages for Vicodin HP and Vicodin ES are different.
VICODIN HP (Abbott)
hydrocodone bitartrate 10 mg and acetaminophen 660mg tablets
The usual adult dosage is one tablet every four to six hours as needed for pain. The total daily dosage should not exceed 6 tablets.

VICODIN ES (Abbott)
hydrocodone bitartrate 7.5 mg and acetaminophen 750 mg tablets
The usual adult dosage is one tablet every four to six hours as needed for pain. The total daily dosage should not exceed 5 tablets.

Actually with any narcotic over 5mg. you really shouldn't exceed more than 3 a day or you risk physical addiction and that aint nothing nice to get over. Be careful out there
I had no problems stopping Vicodin when I got pregnant. The only bad thing is that I had to suffer with a lot of back pain. After I had my baby, my dr put me back on Vicodin HP.
I have a really bad cough and have for months. I have a thryoid nodule not sure if that's making me cough or not. But ive tried hydrodone cough syrup and it works ok once it kicks in but doesn't last all night. Would a Vicodin HP last longer?
