Ceta-Plus
Hydrocodone/acetaminophen-Oral


Ceta-Plus is a combination of a narcotic (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic (acetaminophen) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins, therefore relieving pain.

Uses
Ceta-Plus is a combination of a narcotic (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic (acetaminophen) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins, therefore relieving pain.


Storage
  • Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture.
  • Do not store in the bathroom.
  • Keep all medicines away from children and pets.


Overdose
  • If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
  • Symptoms of overdose may include: vomiting, slow breathing, slow heartbeat, cold/clammy skin, unusual sweating, loss of consciousness, severe nausea, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine, extreme fatigue, stomach pain.

How To Use
  • Take Ceta-Plus by mouth, as directed by your doctor.
  • You may take Ceta-Plus with or without food.
  • If you have nausea, you may take Ceta-Plus with food, although doing so may decrease its effectiveness.
  • Consult your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives for decreasing nausea (e.g., antihistamines, lying down for 1-2 hours with minimal head movement).
  • The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
  • Pain medications work best in relieving pain before it becomes severe.
  • Once the pain becomes intense, the medication is not as effective in relieving it.
  • Use Ceta-Plus exactly as prescribed.
  • Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Ceta-Plus can be habit-forming.
  • Also, if used for an extended period of time, do not suddenly stop using Ceta-Plus without your doctor s approval.
  • When used for an extended period, Ceta-Plus may not work as well and may require different dosing.
  • Talk with your doctor if Ceta-Plus stops working well.
  • Ceta-Plus contains acetaminophen.

  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: impairment or loss of hearing (especially with high doses for long periods).
  • If you do not have liver problems, the adult maximum dose of acetaminophen is 4 grams per day (4000 milligrams).
  • If you take more than the maximum daily amount, it may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms of liver damage: severe nausea, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine, stomach pain, extreme fatigue.

  • Check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
  • To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.
  • Caution is advised when using Ceta-Plus in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects of Ceta-Plus, especially the possible decreased breathing and drowsiness effects.
  • Ceta-Plus should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy.
  • It is not recommended for use for long periods or in high doses near the expected delivery date because of the potential for fetal harm.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
  • Based on information from related drugs, Ceta-Plus may pass into breast milk.
  • Due to the potential risk to the infant, consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose

  • If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
  • Do not double the dose to catch up.

  • Consult your pharmacist if you are uncertain if your other prescription or nonprescription products contain acetaminophen.
  • (Also see adult maximum daily dose information in Side Effects section).
  • Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
