Vicodin and Percodan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vicodin (acetaminophen; hydrocodone bitartrate) and Percodan (aspirin; oxycodone hydrochloride; oxycodone terephthalate). Common drug interactions include depression among females and impaired gastric emptying among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vicodin and Percodan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 89 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
