Can Hydrocodone Be Taken For Knee Pain While Having An UTI?
Hi I have recently had knee surgery and was prescribed hydrocodone 5mg I have read that you should not take the medication if you have a UTI which unfortunately I believe I have But my knee is really hurting me I’m not sure what to do because no other pain killers last long enough for me to get some sleep

Hello,
As I know, there is no interaction of hydrocodone with urinary tract infection (UTI). There would be an interaction between the urinary tract and hydrocodone if you had renal impairment or urinary retention. In your situation, if I understood well, there is no one of them. If you will take medication for urinary tract infection, just be sure for the combination and interaction with hydrocodone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Eniola Memishahi
