Hydromet

Hydromet is a prescribed medication that plays two critical roles ? it suppresses cough and provides relief from moderate to severe pain. It is a synergistic combination of the medications hydrocodone, a narcotic cough suppressant, and homatropine, which discourages misuse. Possible side effects are nausea, vomiting, constipation, and lightheadedness, but your doctor would have considered these before recommending Hydromet to you.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Hydromet Work?

Hydromet contains hydrocodone, an opioid agonist that works centrally (in the brain) to suppress the cough reflex, and homatropine, an anticholinergic component that discourages overconsumption of the medication by causing unpleasant effects at high dosages.

What is Hydromet Used For?

FDA Indications: Hydromet is used to suppress persistent and debilitating coughs associated with cold or upper respiratory tract conditions.

Offlabel uses: While not typically used for this purpose, Hydromet could theoretically be used for its painrelieving properties due to the hydrocodone component.

Common Dosages

Oral syrup: 5mg hydrocodone/1.5mg homatropine per 5mL

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • For FDAapproved indications: Adults and children 12 years and older: 5 mL every 4?6 hours, not to exceed 6 doses in 24 hours. Children 612 years: 2.5 mL every 46 hours, not to exceed 4 doses in 24 hours.
  • Do not use it in children under 6 years due to the risk of severe side effects.
