Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone 325mg/5mg contains: 325mg acetaminophen and 5mg hydrocodone.
Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone 500mg/5mg contains: 500mg acetaminophen and 5mg hydrocodone.
Therefore the hydrocodone dose is the same in each strength (5mg) with the acetaminophen dose varying from 325mg and 500mg.
As far as I know, it isn't that hydro/apap 5/325 is regular strength and 5/500 is extra strength, but that 5/325 is regular strength Norco (and its generic versions) and 5/500 is regular strength Vicodin (and it's generic versions.
Both have the same amount of opioids which is what the 5 stands for and 325 or 500 is the Tylenol if you dont know what acetaminophen stands for. Hope this helps others asking the same question. ;-)
Also im not knocking you but Norco is a company brand name like lorocet and percecet.
Also, by experienced 5/325 are stronger feeling then the 5/500's.
325/5 are the Same as 500's the 325 is the amount of acetaminophen in the
If u have the IP 109 just take 3 it will level out to the 500 & have the same strength so it’s a 10/ i half basically
