FDA to reduce amount of APAP in Opiates!

Link does not work, try finding another source man. This would be great news, but nothing spectacular at least for those with enough knowledge to perform a CWE.

I agree,for those whos tolerence isn't too high this would be pretty good news for them, but if you take high doses a CWE would still be recommended.
 
I wonder if they made a Hydrocodone only like pill (kinda like the old brand name OC's) if it would be any good...? lol Like if people would abuse it the same way, like i wonder if you could snort pure hydrocodone, im sure you can, i think...
 
Awesome, I wish they'd remove it completely - it's not good for anybody, and you can always take some apap separately if ya want it.

^Exactly! I honestly don't know what took them so long to do this. What's even scarier is that I've been to some doctors who seemed to be quite uniformed when it comes to the dangers of apap. Needless to say I no longer see them.
 
Isn't using acetaminophen as an abuse deterrent sort of a bad idea when not everyone is aware that liver toxicity is a potential side effect of overdose? I've met several people who were unaware of the side effects of apap overdose not to mention that hydrocodone pills even contained apap. Not to say that I support taking anything without at least a minimal knowledge of what it is you're taking and how it can affect you but it just seems insane to me that this has been allowed to go on for this long.
 
It's about time. Putting APAP in opiates is senseless. Chances are if you have pain requiring you to take a opiate acetaminophen isint going to do shit. The only place acetaminophen would have with a opiate would be with codeine in tylenol#3's or #4's. But then again the doctor could just give you the 30mg codeine phosphate pills and tell you to take some APAP along with it. Or better yet ibuprofen since that actually works on pain unlike shitty acetaminophen which is only good for fevers and in combo with ibuprofen if the advil does not kill the headache by itself. Putting it in with oxycodone is stupid and just fucks up peoples livers needlesly.

Since i live in Canada this won't affect me and hell we don't even have vicodin or loratab or norcos here since hydrocodone is only approved for coughs not pain here. We do have percocets, tylenol 3's and 4's, fioricet, mep 282's, and robaxacet-c's all of which contain around 300-325mg's of acetaminophen per pill. I think some of them might have abit more APAP in them but usually it's 300-325mg's.

I really would like them to take the APAP out of percocets though because some stupid docs won't script oxy IR's but will script percocets which in Canada only have a lousey 5mg's of oxycodone in them. So unless your a baby you have to take 2 of the things anyway.
