How Much Hydrocodone Is Safe With Alcohol
3 Topics FoundI'm almost completely well from my cough and doubt I will need it more then one or two more times. Can I have a glass or two of wine with dinner? ## Hello, Monica! How are you? It's really not advisable to mix alcohol with a narcotic, in this case the Hydrocodone. Both of them can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could put you in danger.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just finished a prescription of Hydrocodone - 50 pills were in the prescription. It was Hydrocodon-Acetaminophine 7.5-3.25. I took them over the course of 11 days. When will it be safe for me to have alcohol? ## Hello, Doddy! How are you? In a week or so, once the side effects have pretty much worn off, since it tends to worsen them, so you get more nauseous, dizzy and drowsy than usual. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

If I took one of these, how much alcohol can I consume to still be safe ## You shouldn't consume any, while taking a prescription medication. Alcohol can intensify the side effects, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual, as reported by the FDA. However, if your doctor does approve of you imbibing, please make sure you will not be driving, or operating dangerous machinery. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
