Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 5 325 Anti Inflammatory? (Top voted first)

Is it safe to take my pain meds (for my back injury) 2 days before I have a biopsy? Is it safe? Or is THAT considered an anti inflammatory medication?

Hello, Kandy! How are you?

No, this is not an anti-inflammatory. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Thus, it should be fine, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise.

Is there anything else I can help with?
