Do you have to take cipro and hydrocodone six hours apart?

Answer 1

What makes you ask? I am DEFINATELY NO DOCTOR!! Just saying lol. However, i am taking cipro for a bladder infection (male bladder infection, and this is my second day on cipro before i started taking vicodin again) . I have had one bowel movement in like three days definitely not norm for me! My back where the kidneys are, and my stomach has been feeling like a bookshelf fell on me, or perhaps a Baseball bat to the gut from a home run derby.or maybe i even swallowed a baseball?... anyways! (sorry for the grammar, blaah!) luckily i have some hydrocodone tucked away. it has definitely relieved the pain. i took half of a hydrocodone prior to having my cipro dosage. when the vicodin wore off i had a big cramp under my right ribcage at the front. i guess since it wore off? the pain come back around ten or eleven p.m. this was all today, i took the half vicodin around (500mg)4:45, and then my cipro at 5:15. its now 1 a.m. and i just swallowed a vicodin like maybe 20 mins ago. i feel way better. if it helps, i HAVE read (on this site too)that it's definitely ok to take them since one is a antibiotic, and one reduces pain. so I guess I'll see. I don't care cause my cramp in my back and stomach was definitely worth saving some hydrocodone! The pain is still there I can feel it/can't because it's numb. I just know its actually being covered up I guess. But I must say, I have never looked so forward to a bowel movement guess I 'll go eat some green beans. Definately hate feeling like some lab rat taking this cipro its definitely not supposed to be " the first choice" by dr's for my bladder infection from what i have read. To answer your question I assume it doesn't matter. but if you die an Elvis death, its not my fault, but then if that's the case I wont be here cause im taking them both haha jk, jk. call your dr and ask! (You may be confusing your question with other pills in the phamplet about what you should take two hours before or after or 6 or something, but i don't think vicodin are in that category). Good luck, hope you feel better, l8r!
