Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Hydrocodone is category C .
Hydrocodone should only be given during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Babies born to mothers who have been taking opioids regularly prior to delivery will be physically dependent.
Drug test after tow months will be negative.
Take care of your self
