Can Hydrocodone Be Substituted With Another Medicine?
is there another pain killer similar to hydrocodone/acetameniphen that works much the same was but does not have the side effect of water retention and dryness properties such as dry nose? I m having surgery tomorrow and would like an alternative drug...

General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hello,
You can take tab Diclofenac or Aceclofenac. Or you can take tab ibuprofen also. These are usually better-tolerated painkillers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi , General & Family Physician
