Will Constipation With Hydrocodone/APAP Go Away?
Constipation due to hydrocodone/APAP will not go away on its own, as long as you continue to take the medication. Someone who has been taking the medication for years is just as likely to have constipation due to the drug as someone who just started taking it. The body never adjusts or adapts to the effects of hydrocodone/APAP that cause constipation. Therefore, measures to treat and prevent constipation due to hydrocodone/APAP are usually necessary.
