Taken Hydrocodone Pill For Dental Pain. Constipation. Is It OK To Take Dulcolax? Any Effects On Periods?
I have taken a hydrocodone 10mg pill for dental pain today; however I've not had to go to the bathroom for 3 days and I'm swollen I tried to take time to go earlier and nothing happened I just sat there with no result even after abdominal massage, would it be ok for me to take 1 dose of my dulcolax laxative, I usually take 3 of the 5mg pills when I'm constipated which doesn't happen often, but I've been under great amount of stress, so since I've taken the hydrocodone, would it be ok to take a dose of Dulcolax tonight so I can get feel better in the morning?? Also would the laxative make my monthly period worse??

Dear Friend
Hydrocodone can cause constipation.
You can take dulcolax, but i advise you to avoid hydrocodone.
You have others options for dental pain, you can ask your dentist to prescribe you those.
For constipation you better eat a lot of fruits.
You can consider lactulose syrup if dulcolax is not working for you.
Write to us, if you are still in problem
