There is no contraindication between the 2. But both are not over the counter drugs and have to be taken on prescription only. Discuss it with your doctor.

Hydromet Hydrocodone is a narcotic cough medicine. You are taking Ambien tranquilizer. Remember that promethazine also causes drowziness, though. Take extra care when sitting or standing.
No direct interaction
