Fasting While Taking Hydrocodone 5mg

Updated

I'm fasting and on a low dose of hydrocodone 5mg once or twice a day. Is this safe? I'm only fasting twice a week, water only.

Hello, Clarice! How are you?

Ideally, this medication should be taken with food, taking it on an empty stomach can cause you to experience more severe side effects, including the nausea, and dizziness, that it can cause, according to the FDA. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming.

What you are fasting so frequently?

Clarice,

Hi hydrocodone can be harsh on your stomach so ideally it should be taken with food to lessen any gastroentestinal distress effects it may cause. Dosage or strength has little to do with the eventual propensity it has to cause unpleasant side effects.Something light like crackers or toast seems to work for most.
