medicine/pill question

[zetajenn5 0]

I am having an attack of the allergies and sinuses. Has anyone taken Benadryl with the band? My pills are capsules but very small. Think I can one since it's small? I am 2 weeks post op and only have 4cc's.

Also, can I take Benadryl with the liquid Hydrocodone since they both make me sleepy?

Thanks!

I would call your doctor being 2 weeks post op .

Each doc is so different that it would be best.

You can always get the liquid benedryl also if he says its ok to take.

I am pretty sure Benadryl is a Bandster safe medicine, as long as it's not on your Docs list of no-no's. I wouldn't think the size would be a problem -- I take about 6 pills a day, most of them are about 2x the size of a Benadryl. When in doubt, call the Dr.

I agree that it MIGHT not be an issue but she is 2 weeks post op , and i always try to take liquids when ever possibly just to be safe.

But like you said when in doubt ALWAYS call your doc.

They make dissolveable strips I think I would go get those just to be safe.

I wouldn't mix the meds. Both depress the respiratory system. Don't pull a Heath Ledger.

I would say a SMALL amount of both. It depends on your metabolism, but if at all possible, I would try to steer away from combining the two...only because of the possible respiratory issues...

My doctor says that the new research shows that it is fine to take pills as they are and he doesn't even prescribe liquid meds anymore.

I am less than a week out from being banded and I have been able to take all my pills (about 6 per day - various sizes) with no problem from the same day of surgery. I do cut the Vicodin in half, but I think it would probably go down OK too.

Of course you should do what your doctor says and whatever is comfortable for you.

Thanks guys! The headache got worse so I ended up taking a Migraine pill. They melt in my mouth. Thanks!

I was able to take anything at 2 weeks post op. I take small pills for thyroid and allergies. I also take Omega 3 capuls and those suckers are big. I just had my first fill today so I'm not sure if I can still take those...but my small pills went down fine. Good luck to you.
