Hydrocodone may interact with alcohol, benzodiazepines, sedatives, sleeping medicines, other opioids, and other central nervous system depressants. These combinations can substantially increase the risk of sedation and respiratory depression. Certain medicines that affect liver enzymes can also alter hydrocodone levels. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use.
