Damason-P Overdose Symptoms and Treatment

Damason-P is the trade name of the generic combination medication of aspirin and hydrocodone. It is indicated for treating moderate to severe pain. Damason-P should be taken as instructed by your doctor, as misuse or abuse of the drug can cause adverse side effects and induce overdose symptoms. Consult your doctor before taking the medication to ensure that you are not allergic to the drug, have existing health conditions that can be aggravated by the drug, or are taking other medications or health supplements that may interact with Damason-P.

Damason-P is classified as a narcotic analgesic with aspirin. Aspirin belongs to a class of drugs known as salicylates and has long been used as an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medication. It should not be administered to children and teenagers as a fever reducer, especially if the child suffers from chickenpox or shows symptoms of flu. Doing so can cause adverse side effects, like Reye’s syndrome, a rare condition associated with the intake of aspirin or aspirin-containing medications during a viral disease, such as Influenza B or chickenpox.

Hydrocodone is a narcotic pain reliever and one of the most frequently prescribed opiates. According to studies, it is more effective than codeine as a cough suppressant and is nearly similar to morphine when it comes to relieving pain. Hydrocodone are also found in combination with both prescription and non-prescription medications like acetaminophen. Because hydrocodone is an opiate, it can be habit-forming and misused. Hydrocodone is classified as a Schedule II drug due to its high potential for abuse. Damason-P and other drugs with hydrocodone are placed in the Schedule III or IV category.

Other similar drugs to Damason-P are Percodan, Endodan, Synalgos-DC, PC-Cao, Darvon Compound-65, and Darvon Compound-32.

Damason-P Overdose Treatment

A person suffering from a Damason-P overdose requires immediate medical attention. The patient may be subjected to intravenous (IV) fluids, oxygen, vasopressors, and other supportive measures. A Damaso-P overdose may also require assisted or controlled ventilation as too much hydrocodone in the body can cause respiratory depression. If the patient is addicted to hydrocodone, a rapid detoxification process may be performed to remove the hydrocodone in the system. Once the patient is stable, they can choose to enter an inpatient detox or rehabilitation facility to aid with their recovery. Entering a local support group like Narcotics Anonymous can also provide support needed to prevent relapse.
