Interactions between your selected drugs
dicyclomine ⇔ hydrocodone
Applies to: Bentyl (dicyclomine) and Vicodin (acetaminophen/hydrocodone)
MONITOR: Coadministration of narcotic analgesics with anticholinergic agents may result in additive central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects, and increase the risk of severe constipation or paralytic ileus and CNS depression.
MANAGEMENT: If concomitant use cannot be avoided, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS depression and constipation. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.
acetaminophen ⇔ dicyclomine
Applies to: Vicodin (acetaminophen/hydrocodone) and Bentyl (dicyclomine)
Anticholinergic agents may delay and/or decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of acetaminophen by reducing gastric motility and delaying gastric emptying. However, the clinical relevance is probably minimal.
