Surgery + Vicodin = Constipation?!


Question:

Surgery + Vicodin = Constipation?

i had knee surgery yesterday.

im on vicodin, two pills every 4 hours

Im constipated, i read that this is a side effect of the medicine.

Im going to call my dr in the morning to see what he recomends me taking.

Does anyone have any experience with constipation and vicodin? what did you take for a laxative? do you think Miralax would work?


Answers:

Been there ; done that I used colace and then pericolace.
