I had the same question and checked with the GI nurse at Kaiser. She informed me that as long as it doesn't have Aspirin with it (usually hydrocodone has tylenol), it's okay to take. just not on the day of the procedure
That depends on the route.
If you're in pain, of course you should.
But if you have been told that you cannot eat and drink, then you should check with your doctor or nurse before.
The red cross blood donation guidelines state, "In almost all cases, medications will not disqualify you as a blood donor. Your eligibility will be based on the reason that the medication was prescribed. As long as the condition is under control and you are healthy, blood donation is usually permitted."
The list of drugs which are not permitted does not contain hydrocodone. Thus, taking hydrocodone should cause no problems with the donation process. This medication should only be taken with a doctor's prescription.
Discontinue well in advance of surgery, as the medication will prolong bleeding times.

Hydrocodone
For an adult, given a standard dosage of about 5 - 10 mg of hydrocodone in a Vicodin, and without any sensitivity to the acetaminophen in the Vicodin (such as the case with liver problems), then it should be fine to take a Vicodin 2 days before a surgery. The half-life of Vicodin is about 1 - 4 hours. So, plenty of it will have metabolized out of your system before the surgery takes place.
Most medications given before general anesthesia are either anxiolytics, usually benzodiazepines; or analgesics. Patients in severe pain prior to surgery may be given morphine or fentanyl
