Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Hydrocodone is not an NSAID and does not cause peptic ulcers or other stomach issues. So it can be taken even with peptic ulcers. The other thing is that pain is a kind of stress for human body. In some cases it can increase stomach acid secretion.
That is why It is advisable to take some PPIs (like Omeprasole) especially if you have any symptoms pointing to peptic ulcer.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
