What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

APADAZ is a combination of benzhydrocodone, a prodrug of the opioid agonist hydrocodone, and acetaminophen, and is indicated for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.

Limitations of Use Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, which can occur at any dosage or duration, reserve APADAZ for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options [e.g., non-opioid analgesics]:

  • Have not been tolerated or are not expected to be tolerated,
  • Have not provided adequate analgesia or are not expected to provide adequate analgesia

APADAZ should not be used for an extended period of time unless the pain remains severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatment options continue to be inadequate.
