Opioid Drugs with moderate abuse potential and accepted medical use

Hydrocodone+APAP (Narco)

A therapeutic index of a drug is as follows: TI = LD50/ ED50 = 1000mg/100mg =10. This means the drug causes serious side effects.

Therapeutic Index (TI) A ratio that compares the blood concentration at which a drug becomes toxic and the concentration at which the drug is effective. The larger the therapeutic index (TI), the safer the drug is.
