Brief Answer:
These are relatively safe drugs. Unless otherwise, you will be good!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this drug sensitive nature and the intolerance to tramadol. Codeine and hydroxide are safe drugs and I do not really anticipate that you will have any adverse reactions to them. However, monitor closely and report any symptoms that may be observed during this time to us for immediate review, advice and action course. This way, we can prevent any abnormal effects before they strike.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Above up, I wish you a very safe procedure and quick recovery. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
