Specializes in Family Medicine

Vicodin/benadryl: Should not be a problem. 5 mg of Vicodin (hydrocodone) is a low dose especially as a one time medication. The benadryl (diphenhydramine) will likely make you sleepy but there should NOT be a problem this one time. By all means you should NOT consume any alcoholic beverages tonight.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed
