Can you take Vicodin when allergic to penicillin?

Answer 1

I am allergic to morphine as well. I can take Vicodin, Lortab, Norco etc, but at higher doses (10mg or above) I do sometimes get very slight hives on my face, but not like with morphine. Anything 10mg and below and I've had no problem. That is just my experience. That being said, I cannot take oxycodone, Percocet or any of it's derivatives as it causes MAJOR hives, itching, burning sensation, and respiratory distress. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

yes. You should be ok. The main ingredient in vicodin is acetaminophen also found in tylenol. Naproxen and Aleve should be avoided, sometimes things like ibuprofin can cause reactions if you are also allergic to naproxen.

Answer 3

1st its vicodin, second, they are vertually the same but norco's are higher in strength. so don't take!

Answer 4

no, vicodin is hydrocodone, which is a codeine.

Answer 5

Yes. Vicodin (a narcotic pain killer) is completely unrelated to penicillin (an antibiotic). They can be safely taken together.

Answer 6

No, because Vicodin contains hydrocodone plus acetaminophen.

Answer 7

No. Norco is just a trade name (brand name) of a specific strength of hydrocodone.

Answer 8

Wrong Hydrocodone is synthetic and not real codeine I cannot go near codeine but not a single problem with hydrocodone! You can take hydrocodone if allergic to codeine!

Answer 9

YES Hydrocodone is synthetic Not the same as codeine problems! I know personally!

Answer 10

Yes.
