If you have only one kidney, is it safe to take narcotics?

Cautiously, make sure your prescriber is also aware, specifically if kidney function is impaired, as opiate selection will be needed.

It would be okay to take prescribed medication. Do advise your doctor of you kidney status. If you are talking about recreational narcotics, that not safe even with two fully functioning kidneys.
