relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. |  |  |  |
| Directions |
 |    |   |
| | Take Ultracet by mouth usually
every 4 to 6 hours as needed; or as directed by your doctor. It may be taken with
or without food but may work more quickly when taken on an empty stomach. Take
this medication exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take it more
frequently, or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because this

suddenly stop using this drug without your doctor's approval. When used for an
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). |  |  |  |
