No. They have similar effects on the bowel but work in very different ways and and are not chemically related. You may be allergic to both but this would be a coincidence rather than a causal relationship.

Unfortunately, I am allergic to Codeine, and am unable to take: Imodium, Morphine, Vicodin, Oxycodone, or anything similar. Imodium makes everything 100 times worse: the diarrhea, stomach cramps, then add vomiting. The only thing I can take for pain is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic, so be careful with
Imodium even though it's over the counter. I assume everyone is different.

What else can I help you with?
If allergic to codeine would you be allergic to proxy?
I am not sure of the question but are you asking if there is Codeine in Co-Proxamol. If you are, then there is no Codeine in Co-Proxamol. Hope this helps.
Can someone be allergic to codeine and penicillin?
Yes! My mother is allergic to both.
When you take codeine you get serious nausea is oxycodone the same as codeine?
It is very similar. Very few people can tolerate Oxycodone when they are allergic to Codeine. The basis of most prescription pain relievers is a derivative of Codeine. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to Codeine, and the only pain reliever I am able to tolerate is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic. I cannot even take over-the-counter Imodium, as it is made with Codeine. They have tried Morphine, Vicodin, Lortab, all of the "-odones", all with the same results. I assume each person is different, if you feel nauseous with any of these medications, notify your Doctor, as they may be able to supplement the medication with an anti-nausea medication. Good Luck.

Can you take percoset if you are allergic to codeine?
Yes, doctors and healthcare professionals often times prescribe Oxycodone (Percocet) to patients who are allergic to Codeine/Hydrocodone.
Can I take Excedrin Extra Strength if I am allergic to codeine?
Yes. Excedrin Extra Strength and Excedrin Migraine contain acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. None of these would trigger a codeine allergy.
Can you take Valtrex if you are allergic to sulfur and codeine?
Valtrex (valacyclovir) does not contain sulfur or codeine in its composition, so being allergic to sulfur or codeine should not prevent you from taking Valtrex. However, if you have concerns about potential allergic reactions, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication.
If im allergic to Tylenol 3 does it mean im allergic to Tylenol?

If you are allergic to codeine is it safe to take roxicet?
If you are allergic to opiates in general then taking roxicet is a terrible idea, there are tests that can be done to determine if your allergic or not.
Im allergic to codeine would you be allergic to loratab?
If you have an allergy to any drug/medication you should seek advice only from a qualified medical source. To rely on "heresay" is to possibly risk your life.
Can a person who is allergic to nsaids take imodium?
Imodium (loperamide) is not an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and works differently, primarily as an anti-diarrheal medication. Generally, a person allergic to NSAIDs can take Imodium, but it's essential to consult a healthcare professional first to ensure there are no other contraindications or potential interactions with other medications. Always prioritize safety and individual health circumstances before taking any new medication.
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.
