What should I avoid while taking aspirin and hydrocodone?
 | Avoid alcohol while taking aspirin and hydrocodone. Alcohol can greatly increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by the medication which could be dangerous. Also, alcohol increases the risk of stomach bleeding when taking aspirin. |
 | Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Hydrocodone may cause drowsiness. If you experience drowsiness, avoid these activities. |
Do not take other over-the-counter and prescription products that contain aspirin. Too much aspirin could be dangerous. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter preparations.
Drowsiness or dizziness caused by aspirin and hydrocodone may be increased by other drugs such as antidepressants, alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives (used to treat insomnia), other pain relievers, anxiety medicines, and muscle relaxants. Together, these medicines may cause dangerous sedation, possibly resulting in unconsciousness or death. Tell your doctor about all medicines that you are taking, and do not take any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
