Best Answer

Yes.

Hydrocodone is a synthetic derivative of codeine. It does not contain the actual substance.

I would also add that in my experience, the nausea seen with use of codeine is rarely seen with hydrocodone.

My concern is whether at doctor should prescribe acetaminophen for acute pharyngitis (sore throat pain) if I have a severe allergy to Vicodin. I’m suspicious. Any opinions?

That really depends on what is meant by an allergy. It is not unlikely that you will have a similar reaction to hydrocodone as you had to codeine but you may not.

So if you had a true allergy to codiene like hives, chest tightness, throat swelling, wheezing etc then you should be very cautious. if you just had an adverse reaction to codiene such as nausea, drowsiness or skin itching then it would be reasonable to try the hydrocodone and see what happens.

no, hydrocodone and loratab has the same compounds as codiene but a couple times stronger. they both carry some of the same ingredients. People who are allergic to hydrocodone are usually prescribed oxycodone (percocet) or hydromorphone.

It's likely, but not guaranteed, that being allergic to codeine will make you allergic to hydrocodone also.

Does hydroco have codeine?

if by hydroco you mean hydrocodone, then yes and no. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is made FROM codeine. Hydrocodone does not metabolize into codeine frome what ive read. If you are allergic to codeine then you will probably be allergic to hydrocodone too. If youre trying to pass a UA then you should be ok as most urine tests that test for opiates only test for morphine and codeine; neither of which are metabolites of hydrocodone. If you're looking to treat pain, then keep in mind that hydrocodone is stronger than codeine.

Can you take Vicodin when allergic to penicillin?

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.
