Can you take dairy products while taking Vicodin?

Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) is a prescription pain medication that combines the opioid painkiller hydrocodone with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) acetaminophen. It is typically used to treat moderate to severe pain.

Dairy products do not typically interfere with the absorption or effectiveness of Vicodin. However, some people may experience side effects such as nausea or stomach upset when taking Vicodin with dairy products. If you experience these side effects, it is best to avoid consuming dairy products while taking Vicodin.

It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication to discuss potential interactions with other medications or foods.
