In reply to Hycodan (hydrocodone + homatropine)?, posted by Ame Sans Vie on October 17, 2003, at 20:53:51
> I'm considering giving this med a try instead of OxyContin when I see my pain doc on Monday. I think I recall trying it in the past, but I can't recall very well... does anyone know if the homatropine dulls the hydrocodone effect or anything? (I know that anticholinergics usually potentiate opioids)
i imagine the addeded homatropine would just yuck it up - increased sedation, dry mouth, slowed congitive abilities. If you are thinking of going on Oxycontin, then why are you considering a weak non-extended release med like Hycodan? If you're looking for serious pain relief you need something like Oxycontin, MS Contin, Fentanyl Pathces - not a low-level cough syruop.
> BTW, Hycodan are 5mg hydrocodone and 1.5mg homatropine in the U.S. In Canada they're pure hydrocodone... lucky S.O.B.s. ;-)
