A member asked:
I break out in hives when i take hydrocodone. i have a surgery coming and i'm wonder what pain meds my surgeon might be able to use?

Varies: Itching and hives associated with hydrocodone may not be a true allergy, just a side effect of opiate effect. An antihistamine taken with opiates may help. Most important to discuss this with your surgeon before surgery.

Tell doctor.: Agree with Dr. W. It is important to inform your doctor of your medical history so that the doctor may choose an alternative medication.
