Smiley face Smiley face

Avoid/Use Alternative

Smiley face Smiley face hydrocodone/acetaminophen (generic) + Sabril (vigabatrin)

Avoid/Use Alternative


hydrocodone + vigabatrin

avoid combo if antitussive use; otherwise monitor respiratory rate, decr. dose of one or both drugs, use lowest effective doses and shortest duration of concomitant tx: combo may incr. risk of profound CNS and respiratory depression, psychomotor impairment; may alter seizure control (additive effects; antagonistic effects, hydrocodone may decr. seizure threshold)

Monitor/Modify Tx

Smiley face Smiley face Corzide (nadolol/ bendroflumethiazide) + hydrocodone/acetaminophen (generic)

Monitor/Modify Tx


nadolol + hydrocodone

monitor BP: combo may incr. risk of severe hypotension, including orthostasis, syncope (additive effects)

Additional Considerations

Smiley face Smiley face hydrocodone in hydrocodone/acetaminophen

consider prescribing an opioid overdose reversal agent, especially with concomitant CNS depressant use

benzhydrocodone (prodrug) rapidly converted to hydrocodone; similar interactions anticipated

add MAO inhibitor to Interaction Check if recent (14 days) use

avoid combo with beverages or products containing ethanol and some hydrocodone extended-release (ER) capsules; combo may incr. hydrocodone release rate, levels, risk of adverse effects, including life-threatening overdose, decr. duration of efficacy

Smiley face Smiley face bendroflumethiazide in Corzide

Discontinued in US

Smiley face Smiley face sodium polystyrene sulfonate in Kalexate

separate administration from other oral drugs at least 3h before or after sodium polystyrene sulfonate; if gastroparesis, separate administration from other oral drugs by 6h; sodium polystyrene sulfonate may decr. absorption of concomitant oral drugs

some formulations of sodium polystyrene sulfonate contain sorbitol
