--If you miss a dose...
If you take Vicodin regularly, take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Store at room temperature in a tightly closed container, away from light.
If these side effects occur, it may help if you lie down after taking the medication.
Use caution in taking Vicodin if you have a head injury. Narcotics tend to increase the pressure of the fluid within the skull, and this effect may be exaggerated by head injuries. Side effects of narcotics can interfere in the treatment of people with head injuries.
Use Vicodin with caution if you have a severe liver or kidney disorder, an underactive thyroid gland, Addison's disease (a disease of the adrenal glands), an enlarged prostate, or urethral stricture (narrowing of the tube carrying urine from the bladder).
Older adults and those in a weakened condition should be careful using this drug, since it contains a narcotic.
Narcotics such as Vicodin may interfere with the diagnosis and treatment of people with abdominal conditions.
Hydrocodone suppresses the cough reflex; therefore, be careful using Vicodin after an operation or if you have a lung disease.
High doses of hydrocodone may produce slowed breathing; if you are sensitive to this drug, you are more likely to experience this effect.
If hydrocodone is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either may be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Vicodin with the following:
Antianxiety drugs such as Valium and Librium
Antidepressants such as Elavil, Nardil, and Tofranil
Antihistamines such as Tavist
Major tranquilizers such as Thorazine and Haldol
Other narcotic analgesics such as Demerol
Other central nervous system depressants such as Halcion and Restoril
Your doctor will adjust the dosage according to the severity of the pain and the way the medication affects you.

The usual dose is 1 or 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Take no more than 8 tablets of Vicodin per day. For Vicodin ES, the maximum is 5 tablets per day.
