Answers:
The overall difference of the 2 vicodins is only the amount of acetaminaphen, which is just tylenol.. They both have the same amount of the vicodin drug in them, hence the first number 5, and the second number is the amount of tylenol, the 325 and the 500.. So the 5/325 has 5 mg vicodin, and 325 mg tylenol, and the 5/500 has 5 mg vicodin and 500mg tylenol.. So it is only stronger as far as tylonal, but you wont get any more of the actual drug by taking the 5/500 mg one.. So if you are having really bad pain, then I would suggest taking the 5/500 one, because the tylenol will help ease the pain.. You dont have to worry about anyone being more risky though! If you do take the 5/500 mg I would suggest eating before you do though, maybe some toast.. Sometime tylenol can irritate the stomach a bit.. But you should be fine! I hope this helped! :)Health Question & Answer
