IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
Zamicet™ (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen oral solution) is indicated for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain. Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed 4000 milligrams per day, and often involve more than one acetaminophen containing product. The most common side effects associated with hydrocodone/acetaminophen are abdominal pain, dizziness, drowsiness, light-headedness, nausea, shortness of breath, unusual tiredness, and vomiting. Zamicet™ contains hydrocodone which, in high doses or certain patients, may cause dose-related respiratory depression, elevated intracranial pressure, or irregular breathing. Infants may have increased sensitivity to these respiratory depressant effects. As with any narcotic, special caution should be used when prescribing hydrocodone to elderly or debilitated patients, as well as individuals with impaired hepatic or renal function, hypothyroidism, Addison’s disease, prostatic hypertrophy, or urethral stricture. Caution should also be exercised with patients who are likely to take other acetaminophen-containing medications, allergy medicines, antidepressant medicines, or other medicines that cause central nervous system depression, including alcohol. Hydrocodone, like all narcotics, may impair mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery. Such tasks should be avoided while taking this product. Zamicet™ should not be taken if a patient is allergic to hydrocodone or acetaminophen. Patient should check with physician if they are pregnant or are nursing. Hydrocodone can produce drug dependence and has the potential for being abused.
