How To Use Hydrocodone-Homatropine (Hycodan)

Hydrocodone-homatropine comes in the form of a tablet or syrup to be taken by mouth every 4-6 hours as needed for symptomatic relief of cough. 

Read the prescription label carefully and take the medicine exactly as prescribed. If your cough is not better after 5 days of taking hydrocodone-homatropine, tell your doctor. Do not increase the dose, dosage frequency, or duration of treatment without your doctor’s approval. This medication is habit-forming and can lead to drug dependence. Take the smallest dose possible for the shortest time to treat your symptoms.

If you are taking the oral solution of hydrocodone-homatropine, use a dose-measuring device to measure the correct dose. Do not use a household spoon.

If you have been on hydrocodone-homatropine for some time, do not discontinue the medication suddenly. Opioids produce adverse reactions when stopped suddenly. Your doctor will tell you how to gradually reduce the dose to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Missed dose: Hydrocodone-homatropine is taken as needed for cough. If you are taking it on schedule and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store hydrocodone and homatropine at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in its original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused hydrocodone and homatropine should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw leftover medication in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded hydrocodone and homatropine is through a medicine take-back program or your local waste disposal company. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
