Hello,
Hydrocodone 10-325 is a combination of Hydrocodone (10 mg) with Acetaminophen (325 mg); while Hysingla 40 contains only Hydrocodone 40 mg. They are used to treat pain. They are not treating COPD.
Having trouble while breathing during the night is exacerbation of COPD attack. Should consult with pulmonologist and run respiratory function tests in order to start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
