Question 1

Accepted Answer

Not related: Yes but it does have its own side effects.

Question 2

true allergies to morphine, vicodin, nsaids (hives, flushing, rashes.) is dilaudid a safe choice?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you have problem with Opiates (more likely intolerances than allergies), you are more likely to have problem with Dilaudid as well. However there may be exceptions , perhaps starting at a 1/4 of the dose then gradually work the dose up may be helpful if Dilaudid is a drug you really needed.

Question 3

can you take 5 mg of vicodin and 25 mg of benadryl together? i weigh 113 pounds and i'm a female. i have an ovarian cyst and i hardly ever take pain medications so i'm a little afraid and my allergies are killing me.

Accepted Answer

Nasal steroid?: Whether you can take these medications depend greatly on their adverse effects . Both Benadryl and Vicodin have sedating effect and Vicodin may cause abdominal upset for some people.  However if the pain is bad, you may have little choice.  If you are referring to nasal congestion, a nasal steroid will likely work better than an antihistamine.

Question 4

i have a severe allergy to ibuprofen as well as aspirin. is vicodin safe to take for a serious migraine?

Accepted Answer

Vicodin: Yes, can be taken safely, but is definitely addictive

Question 5

hives, severe flushing, rashes from morphine, codeine, vicodin. true allergies. can i take the dm products in otc cold meds?

Accepted Answer

Opioid pseudoallergy: their condition depends on the concentration of opioids in the mast cells. See your doctor for medication adjustment.

Question 6

trying to figure out my allergies. i get hives from vicodin, morphine, nsaids, codeine. does that mean also allergic to percocet? how about oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Likely: The reaction from codeine, Vicodin, Morphine etc are not truly allergic reaction but from these drugs' ability to release histamine from your cells. Thus you will not likely tolerate any drug in the opiate group. NSAIDs can also cause hives (which are considered allergic in some) but more likely aggravates an existing episode of hives regardless what may be causing it. Need more information.

Question 7

if i was.allergic to a pill how long after taking it would i know i took norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) but i've took vicidion and lortab before what's the chance of allergy?

Accepted Answer

Minutes to hours: If you are allergic to a drug, the reaction usually occurs within minutes and 2 hours.  However if the reaction is a rash , it may take several days.  Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) is not a highly allergenic drug although you may get side effects from the opiate it contains.

Question 8

i am trying to get a script for my vicodin.  ?

Accepted Answer

Vicodin: Hydrocodone is an opiate that is commonly used for short term acute pain such as minor injury, minor surgery etc. Its use on a long term basis is not recommended and leads to habituation at best and addiction at worst. Please see a pain specialist for proper evaluation and non-opiate treatment options. Good luck.

Question 9

is 500mg of vicodin a strong pain reliever?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The answer depends on what you are comparing to. If you are comparing it to non opioid pain relievers definitely it will be stronger. There are however more potent pain medications and you can ask your physician about this.

Question 10

what does 5mg/500mg in a vicodin prescription?

Accepted Answer

Med Dosages: 5mg is hydrocodone.  500mg is Acetaminophen or tylenol (acetaminophen).
