> When she left the hospital, she was given a fentanyl patch for the back pain, but it takes a while to start working, so the doc wrote a scrip for hydrocodone! Luckily, my mother is a smart consumer and read the label info and sure enough it says Do Not Take if you are allergic to codeine.
I am allergic to codeine, just major iching.
oxy and hydro-codone (derived from codeine)
effect me much less, allergy wise. Sounds like
your mother is much more allergic than I, so she is smart to avoid all codeine derived meds.Fentynal is a good choice, it is synthetic.
If she needs a less strong pain killer, darvaset
and demerol are the other synthetic pain killers
I know I can take with no allergy problems.
