Hydrocodone is available in combination with other ingredients, and different combination products are prescribed for different uses. Some hydrocodone combination products are used to relieve severe pain. Other hydrocodone combination products are used to relieve cough. Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and in a class of medications called antitussives. Hydrocodone relieves pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Hydrocodone relieves cough by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing.

5.1Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets contains hydrocodone, a Schedule II controlled substance. As an opioid, Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets exposes users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse [ see Drug Abuse and Dependence ( 9 ) ], which can lead to overdose and death [ see Overdosage ( 10 ) ]. Reserve Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets for use in adult patients for whom the benefits of cough suppression are expected to outweigh the risks, and in whom an adequate assessment of the etiology of the cough has been made.
Assess each patient's risk prior to prescribing Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets, prescribe Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets for the shortest duration that is consistent with individual patient treatment goals, monitor all patients regularly for the development of addiction or abuse, and refill only after reevaluation of the need for continued treatment. Although the risk of addiction in any individual is unknown, it can occur in patients appropriately prescribed Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets.
Addiction can occur at recommended dosages and if the drug is misused or abused. Risks are increased in patients with a personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g., major depression). Opioids are sought by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders and are subject to criminal diversion.
Consider these risks when prescribing or dispensing Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets. Strategies to reduce these risks include prescribing the drug in the smallest appropriate quantity and advising the patient on the proper disposal of unused drug [ see Patient Counseling Information ( 17 ) ]. Contact local state professional licensing board or state-controlled substances authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product.
5.2Life-Threatening Respiratory Depression Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression has been reported with the use of opioids, including hydrocodone, one of the active ingredients in Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets. Hydrocodone produces dose-related respiratory depression by directly acting on the brain stem respiratory center that controls respiratory rhythm and may produce irregular and periodic breathing. Respiratory depression, if not immediately recognized and treated, may lead to respiratory arrest and death.
Management of respiratory depression includes discontinuation of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets, close observation, supportive measures, and use of opioid antagonists (e.g. naloxone), depending on the patient's clinical status [ see Overdosage ( 10 ) ]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) retention from opioid-induced respiratory depression can exacerbate the sedating ef…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections: Addiction, abuse, and misuse [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.3) ] Life-threatening respiratory depression [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.3 , 5.4 , 5.8 ) and Overdosage (10) ] Accidental overdose and death due to medication errors [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Decreased mental alertness with impaired mental and/or physical abilities [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Interactions with benzodiazepines and other CNS depressants [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) , and Drug Interactions (7.1) , ( 7.4) ] Paralytic ileus, gastrointestinal adverse reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] Increased intracranial pressure [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] Obscured clinical course in patients with head injuries [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] Seizures [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) ] Severe hypotension [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.12) ] Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.13) ] Adrenal insufficiency [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.14) ] The following adverse reactions have been identified during clinical studies, in the literature, or during post-approval use of hydrocodone and/or homatropine.
Because these reactions may be reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The most common adverse reactions to Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets include: Sedation (somnolence, mental clouding, lethargy), impaired mental and physical performance, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Other reactions include: Anaphylaxis : Anaphylaxis has been reported with hydrocodone, one of the ingredients in Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No specific drug interaction studies have been conducted with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets. Serotonergic Drugs : Concomitant use may result in serotonin syndrome. Discontinue if serotonin syndrome is suspected.
( 7.5 ) Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) : Can potentiate the effects of hydrocodone. Avoid concomitant use in patients receiving MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping an MAOI. ( 7.6 ) Muscle Relaxants : Avoid concomitant use.
( 7.7 ) Diuretics : Hydrocodone may reduce the efficacy of diuretics. Monitor for reduced effect. ( 7.8 ) Anticholinergic drugs : Concurrent use may cause paralytic ileus.
( 5.9 , 7.9 )
7.1Alcohol Concomitant use of alcohol with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets can result in an increase of hydrocodone plasma levels and potentially fatal overdose of hydrocodone. Instruct patients not to consume alcoholic beverages or use prescription or nonprescription products containing alcohol while on Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets therapy [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
7.2Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 The concomitant use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets and CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g. ketoconazole), or protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir), can increase the plasma concentration of hydrocodone, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects. These effects could be more pronounced with concomitant use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets and CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibitors, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets are achieved [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ].
After stopping a CYP3A4 inhibitor, as the effects of the inhibitor decline, the hydrocodone plasma concentration will decrease [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], resulting in decreased opioid efficacy or a withdrawal syndrome in patients who had developed physical dependence to hydrocodone. Avoid the use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets while taking a CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 inhibitor. If concomitant use is necessary, monitor patients for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals.
7.3CYP3A4 Inducers The concomitant use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets and CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin, carbamazepine, or phenytoin, can decrease the plasma concentration of hydrocodone [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], resulting in decreased efficacy or onset of a withdrawal syndrome in patients who have developed physical dependence to hydrocodone [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ]. After stopping a CYP3A4 inducer, as the effects of the inducer decline, the hydrocodone plasma concentration will increase [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which could increase or prolong both the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions, and may cause serious respiratory depression.
Avoid the use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets in patients who are taking CYP3A4 inducers. If concomitant use of a CYP3A4 inducer is necessary, follow the patient for reduced efficacy.
7.4Benzodiazepines, and Other CNS Depressants Due to additive pharmacologic effect, the concomitant use of benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, other sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics, antipsychotics, and other opioids, can increase the risk of hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. Avoid the use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets in patients who are taking benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ], and instruct patients to avoid consumption of alcohol while on Hydroc…
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy : Avoid use in pregnant women. May cause fetal harm. ( 8.1 ) Lactation : Breast-feeding not recommended. ( 8.2 ) Renal Impairment : Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment. ( 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment : Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment. ( 8.7 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets are not recommended for use in pregnant women, including during or immediately prior to labor. Prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy may cause neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.13) , Clinical Considerations ]. There are no available data with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes.
Published studies with hydrocodone have reported inconsistent findings and have important methodological limitations ( see Data ). Reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets; however, studies are available with individual active ingredients or related active ingredients ( see Data ). In animal reproduction studies, hydrocodone administered by the subcutaneous route to pregnant hamsters during the period of organogenesis produced a teratogenic effect at a dose approximately 45 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) ( see Data ).
Based on the animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Prolonged use of opioid analgesics during pregnancy for medical or nonmedical purposes can result in physical dependence in the neonate and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome shortly after birth. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome presents as irritability, hyperactivity and abnormal sleep pattern, high pitched cry, tremor, vomiting, diarrhea and failure to gain weight.
The onset, duration, and severity of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome vary based on the specific opioid used, duration of use, timing and amount of last maternal use, and rate of elimination of the drug by the newborn. Observe newborns for symptoms of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.13) ]. Labor or Delivery Opioids cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression and psycho-physiologic effects in neonates.
An opioid antagonist, such as naloxone, must be available for reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression in the neonate. Opioids, including Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets, can prolong labor through actions which temporarily reduce the strength, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions. However, this effect is not consistent and may be offset by an increased rate of cervical dilation, which tends to shorten labor.
Monitor neonates exposed to opioids during labor for signs of excess sedation and respiratory depression. Data Human Data Hydrocodone A limited number of pregnancies have been reported in published observational studies and postmarketing reports describing hydrocodone use during pregnancy. However, these data cannot definitely establish or exclude any drug-associated risk during pregnancy.
Methodological limitations of these observational studies include small sample size and lack of details regarding dose, duration and timing of exposure. Animal Data Reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets; however, studie…

An opioid antagonist, such as naloxone, must be available for reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression in the neonate. Opioids, including Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets, can prolong labor through actions which temporarily reduce the strength, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions. However, this effect is not consistent and may be offset by an increased rate of cervical dilation, which tends to shorten labor.
Monitor neonates exposed to opioids during labor for signs of excess sedation and respiratory depression. Data Human Data Hydrocodone A limited number of pregnancies have been reported in published observational studies and postmarketing reports describing hydrocodone use during pregnancy. However, these data cannot definitely establish or exclude any drug-associated risk during pregnancy.
Methodological limitations of these observational studies include small sample size and lack of details regarding dose, duration and timing of exposure. Animal Data Reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets; however, studies are available with individual active ingredients or related active ingredients.

🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets are not indicated for use in patients younger than 18 years of age because the benefits of symptomatic treatment of cough associated with allergies or the common cold do not outweigh the risks for use of hydrocodone in these patients [ see Indications (1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Life-threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received hydrocodone [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Because of the risk of life-threatening respiratory depression and death, Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets are contraindicated in children less than 6 years of age [ see Contraindications (4) ].
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies have not been conducted with Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets in geriatric populations. Use caution when considering the use of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets in patients 65 years of age or older. Elderly patients may have increased sensitivity to hydrocodone; greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function; or concomitant disease or other drug therapy [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ].
Respiratory depression is the chief risk for elderly patients treated with opioids, including Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets. Respiratory depression has occurred after large initial doses of opioids were administered to patients who were not opioid-tolerant or when opioids were co-administered with other agents that depress respiration [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4 , 5.8) ]. Hydrocodone is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.
Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, monitor these patients closely for respiratory depression, sedation, and hypotension.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Clinical Presentation Hydrocodone Acute overdose with hydrocodone is characterized by respiratory depression (a decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, cyanosis), extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, constricted pupils, and, in some cases, pulmonary edema, bradycardia, partial or complete airway obstruction, atypical snoring, hypotension, hypoglycemia, circulatory collapse, cardiac arrest, and death. Hydrocodone may cause miosis, even in total darkness.
Pinpoint pupils are a sign of opioid overdose but are not pathognomonic (e.g., pontine lesions of hemorrhagic or ischemic origin may produce similar findings). Marked mydriasis rather than miosis may be seen with hypoxia in overdose situations [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Homatropine Homatropine has broad, nonspecific anticholinergic / antimuscarinic activity that similar to, although less potent than, atropine.
Overdosage of homatropine can cause mydriasis and cycloplegia (fixed and dilated pupils), dry mouth and eyes, decreased sweating, hyperthermia, flushing, headache, visual blurring, gastrointestinal symptoms, constipation, urinary retention, tachycardia and palpitations, anxiety, restlessness, agitation, hallucinations, convulsions, cardiac arrhythmias and coma. Anticholinergic agents can also precipitate acute narrow angle glaucoma. Treatment of Overdose Treatment of overdosage is driven by the overall clinical presentation, and consists of discontinuation of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets together with institution of appropriate therapy.
Give primary attention to the reestablishment of adequate respiratory exchange through provision of a patent and protected airway and the institution of assisted or controlled ventilation. Employ other supportive measures (including oxygen and vasopressors) in the management of circulatory shock and pulmonary edema as indicated. Cardiac arrest or arrhythmias will require advanced life-support techniques.
Gastric emptying may be useful in removing unabsorbed drug. The opioid antagonists, naloxone and nalmefene, are specific antidotes for respiratory depression resulting from opioid overdose. For clinically significant respiratory or circulatory depression secondary to hydrocodone overdose, administer an opioid antagonist.
An antagonist should not be administered in the absence of clinically significant respiratory depression. Because the duration of opioid reversal is expected to be less than the duration of action of hydrocodone in Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Homatropine Methylbromide Tablets, carefully monitor the patient until spontaneous respiration is reliably reestablished. If the response to an opioid antagonist is suboptimal or only brief in nature, administer additional antagonist as directed by the product's prescribing information.
Hemodialysis is not routinely used to enhance the elimination of hydrocodone from the body. Physostigmine may be used parenterally for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of homatropine toxicity.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Hydrocodone Hydrocodone is an opioid agonist with relative selectivity for the mu-opioid receptor, although it can interact with other opioid receptors at higher doses. The precise mechanism of action of hydrocodone and other opiates is not known; however, hydrocodone is believed to act centrally on the cough center. In excessive doses, hydrocodone will depress respiration.
Homatropine Homatropine is an anticholinergic that inhibits activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor with less potency than atropine.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Hydrocodone Effects on the Central Nervous System Hydrocodone produces respiratory depression by direct action on brain stem respiratory centers. The respiratory depression involves a reduction in the responsiveness of the brain stem respiratory centers to both increases in carbon dioxide tension and to electrical stimulation. Hydrocodone causes miosis, even in total darkness.
Pinpoint pupils are a sign of opioid overdose but are not pathognomonic (e.g., pontine lesions of hemorrhagic or ischemic origins may produce similar findings). Marked mydriasis rather than miosis may be seen due to hypoxia in overdose situations. Effects on the Gastrointestinal Tract and Other Smooth Muscle Hydrocodone causes a reduction in motility associated with an increase in smooth muscle tone in the antrum of the stomach and duodenum.
Digestion of food in the small intestine is delayed and propulsive contractions are decreased. Propulsive peristaltic waves in the colon are decreased, while tone may be increased to the point of spasm resulting in constipation. Other opioid-induced effects may include a reduction in biliary and pancreatic secretions, spasm of sphincter of Oddi, and transient elevations in serum amylase.
Effects on the Cardiovascular System Hydrocodone produces peripheral vasodilation which may result in orthostatic hypotension or syncope. Manifestations of histamine release and/or peripheral vasodilation may include pruritus, flushing, red eyes and sweating and/or orthostatic hypotension. Effects on the Endocrine System Opioids inhibit the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, and luteinizing hormone (LH) in humans [ see Adverse Reactions (6) ].
They also stimulate prolactin, growth hormone (GH) secretion, and pancreatic secretion of insulin and glucagon. Chronic use of opioids may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to androgen deficiency that may manifest as low libido, impotence, erectile dysfunction, amenorrhea, or infertility. The causal role of opioids in the clinical syndrome of hypogonadism is unknown because the various medical, physical, lifestyle, and psychological stressors that may influence gonadal hormone levels have not been adequately controlled for in studies conducted to date [ see Adverse Reactions (6) ].
Effects on the Immune System Opioids have been shown to have a variety of effects on components of the immune system in in vitro and animal models. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. Overall, the effects of opioids appear to be modestly immunosuppressive.
Concentration–Adverse Reaction Relationships There is a relationship between increasing hydrocodone plasma concentration and increasing frequency of dose-related opioid adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, CNS effects, and respiratory depression. In opioid-tolerant patients, the situation may be altered by the development of tolerance to opioid-related adverse reactions. Homatropine Homatropine methylbromide has several mild but undesirable clinical properties resulting from its antisecretory effects.
These can include: dry mouth, loss of visual accommodation, photophobia, and difficulty in urination. The extent of the above actions is dictated by dose, dose escalation, therefore, results in progressively aversive symptoms in patients.
