Dear Sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as hydrocodoneacetaminophen is well tolerated with maximum dosage of 6-8 tablets per day.. This dosage may only cause some gastric irritation that can be treated with omeprazol if needed..i hope I answered your question..
