Apadaz

Apadaz is a combination medication containing benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen. It is prescribed for the short-term treatment of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid and when other pain medications are not sufficient. Benzhydrocodone is an opioid prodrug that converts to hydrocodone in the body, while acetaminophen is a non-opioid pain reliever and fever reducer. Together, these ingredients work to relieve moderate to severe pain. Apadaz is generally used in situations where fast pain relief is required but for short durations.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Apadaz Work?

Apadaz combines the actions of benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen. Benzhydrocodone is converted to hydrocodone in the body, where it binds to mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain. Acetaminophen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which helps to reduce pain and lower fever.



Common Dosages

  • Tablets: Each tablet contains 6.12 mg of benzhydrocodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen.

Typical Dosing

  • The usual dose is 1 or 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain.
  • Do not exceed 12 tablets in 24 hours due to the risk of acetaminophen toxicity.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Acute pain that is severe enough to require an opioid, particularly in cases where non-opioid alternatives are inadequate


Who Shouldn't Take Apadaz?

  • Severe respiratory depression
  • Acute or severe bronchial asthma without resuscitative equipment
  • Known hypersensitivity to hydrocodone, acetaminophen, or any component of the formulation
  • Paralytic ileus


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Apadaz exactly as prescribed to minimize the risk of addiction, overdose, and respiratory depression.
  • Avoid taking more than the recommended dose, as exceeding the acetaminophen limit can lead to liver damage.
  • Do not drink alcohol while taking Apadaz, as it can increase the risk of liver damage and sedation.
  • If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.
  • Store Apadaz in a secure place away from others, particularly children and individuals with a history of substance abuse.

Risks and Warnings of Apadaz

  • Risk of addiction, abuse, and misuse: Apadaz contains an opioid and can be habit-forming. It should only be used for the prescribed duration, and under close medical supervision.
  • Respiratory depression: High doses or combining Apadaz with other sedatives or alcohol can cause life-threatening respiratory depression.
  • Liver toxicity: Exceeding the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen (4,000 mg) can cause severe liver damage, leading to liver failure or death.
  • Withdrawal symptoms: Stopping Apadaz suddenly after prolonged use can lead to opioid withdrawal symptoms, such as restlessness, sweating, and nausea.


Interactions with Apadaz

Common Drug Interactions

  • Benzodiazepines and other CNS depressants: Taking Apadaz with medications like benzodiazepines or alcohol can increase the risk of sedation, respiratory depression, and overdose.
  • MAO inhibitors: Using Apadaz with MAO inhibitors (or within 14 days of stopping them) can cause dangerous drug interactions.
  • Anticholinergic drugs: Combining Apadaz with anticholinergic drugs can increase the risk of urinary retention and constipation.
