Can I take Etodolac 500mg with Hydrocodone 10mg?

Hi Jmoczy,

Welcome to the Pain Management Forum of MedHelp. I am glad you found us. It is a bit slow on Christmas Day. I'm sorry for my delayed response.

Etodolac is a NSAID. Aspirins should be avoided due to the possible increase in a GI Bleed or similar incidents. However normally you can take an opiate with a NSAID. Hydrocodone tablets usually contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). Does your hydrocodone contain apap and if so how much?

Normally I would suggest you ask a pharmacist but on Christmas you will be hard pressed to find one. You may call your local ER and ask that question. When I worked in ER it was common to receive those types of questions.

I assume you are in pain and I am sorry for that. Good luck and keep in touch.

Peace to You, Tuck
