What to watch for and how to decrease side effects
- Being sleepy, drowsy, dizzy or lightheaded is an expected side effect of narcotic pain relievers. The reaction is different for each person.
- Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do other jobs that require you to be alert and clearheaded.
- Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication.
These drugs may cause constipation. To prevent this from becoming a problem you can:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Take over-the-counter (prescription not required) laxatives such as Senokot, Colace, and Milk of Magnesia if needed for constipation.
- If you have not had a bowel movement within three days after starting your pain medication, contact your doctor immediately.
- Your pain medication may also cause an upset stomach.
