I understand that Phenergan is for nausea. Does anyone know if it can be safely taken with Lortab? Will it inhance or decrease the effects of the Lortab?

it's a motion sickness drug and I've never tried it for pain,but ask your doctor if there are any(I f up this word every time) contradictions,not contradiction. But to be safe which I'm sure it is but who knows it might make you ill as in pukeing,I just don't know enough about the phenegran, I know about the vicodin/lortab same drug just different amount of tylonol.

I was given Phenergan with Vicodin ES and all it did was prevent and treat the nausea that came with taking the pain meds. It is not a pain killer but does enhance the effects of pain meds because it stops the nausea part so that you can concentrate on the pain med effect instead of throwing the meds up. Hope this answers your question some if not let me know and I will try to answer it better if I can. Good luck

Phenergan is used routinely for use with medications such as Demerol or used to be in order to combat the naseau, I am going to tell you it does cause the possibility of drowsy effects so therefore I know it can be used with Demerol but am not sure about Lortab I think just to be safe it would be best to ask your doctor, if you are going to have surgery then he is the best source to talk with

Robert I told her that it is commonly use for sick stomach they use to give it in the Er in combination with drugs such as Demerol, but I told her I did not know for sure about Lortab and since she was going to have surgery soon it would probably be best for her to talk with her doctor
