Benadryl is a good choice and any other antihistamine will help. Keep in mind that a reaction codeine or to any narcotic is like an allergy (itching, hives, etc) is really a side effect. Narcotics will cause direct histamine release from the Allergy cells(Mast cells) For this reason Vicodin (Hydrocodone) most probably will also cause the same reaction. The reactions may be different at different doses and some patients will tolerate alternatives.

If you are allegic to Vicodin can you have a reaction to Lortab?
Yes you will have the same allergic reaction. "Lortab" is a brand name for Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is the active ingrediant in Vicodin, lortab, lorcet, and all the other name brands for the medication.. You are most likely allergic to hydrocodone if you are having and allergic reaction to vicodin. Unless you have never takin Tylenol before. If so, then it may be the acetaminophen you are allergic to. Hope this helps. I am in pharmacy school and work as a pharmacy tech. So this question comes up often in the pharmacy. BE CAREFUL opiate allergies can have very severe reactions.
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.

Codone vs codeine?
Codone is stronger than Codeine. Codeine is what you find in Vicodin, while Codone is what you find in Percaset. Hope this helped :D
You had an allergic reaction to percocet What are the chances of you also being allergic to vicodin?
Very high. Both products contain acetaminophen, which is a rare allergy, but possible. Vicodin contains hydrocodone and percocet contains Oxycodone -- two different yet very similar compounds. Unless you are tested and the test shows otherwise, you are wise to assume if you're allergic to one, you are likely to be to the other.
