| | |
| | Take Ultracet by mouth usually
every 4 to 6 hours as needed; or as directed by your doctor. It may be taken with

extended period, this medication may not work as well and may require different
dosing. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well. Do not take
more than 8 tablets in a single day (24 hours). | | | |
