Spectre 13,
Hi and how are you. I remember reading somewhere that if Hydrocodone was manufactured without APAP that it's scheduling would be changed from class 111 to Class 11. I don't know if this is the reason APAP is added to it. I suppose it enhances the opiate. Removing the APAP and causing the schedule change may have something to do with this not already being done. I mean they did it with percocet. But it was already a schedule 11. It makes perfect sense to me to make this med APAP free and maybe in a time released fasion. But I bet the scheduling change would occur and that would change the whole point of doing it, ie: oxy. No marketing here. So as long as some APAP stays in it the scheduling will remain the same. As Zeus said , most people would OD on the APAP before the Hydro. And as I read on another thread Hydro is the #1 prescribed med in the US. Politics is great.
Best Regards,
