Wine and Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone

These two interact in 4 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 4 Interactions?

Wine interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone falls into 4 of those categories, so it can interact with Wine in 4 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Major).

Major

CNS DEPRESSANTS

1 of 4

Why this applies to Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone

Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use may increase sedative and other adverse effects.
Concomitant use of alcohol with CNS depressants can increase sedative and other adverse effects, potentially through inhibition of the metabolism of certain CNS depressants.
Severity Major Likelihood Likely Evidence C

Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

This combination pill (Damason-P) contains hydrocodone, an opioid pain reliever that slows down your brain and breathing. Wine adds alcohol, which works on the brain the same way. Put them together and the calming, drowsy effects can stack up. You may feel extra sleepy, dizzy, foggy, or unsteady, and in a more serious case your breathing can slow down too much. That's the real concern here.

There's also the aspirin to think about. Aspirin can irritate the stomach lining, and alcohol does the same, so mixing them raises your odds of stomach upset or bleeding. This is a well-recognized, serious combination, so please don't drink wine while taking this medicine without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first.

NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs)

2 of 4

Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone also falls under NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs).

Concomitant use may increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs with alcohol may increase the risk of GI bleeding.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

This combination pill, Damason-P, contains aspirin, which is the piece that matters most when wine is in the picture. Aspirin can irritate the lining of your stomach and make it bleed more easily. Alcohol does the same thing, so drinking wine while taking it stacks two stomach irritants on top of each other and raises your risk of GI bleeding.

Watch for warning signs like stomach pain, black or tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, or unusual heartburn. Keep in mind the hydrocodone here adds drowsiness, and alcohol can deepen that sedation too. Please don't change anything on your own. Ask your pharmacist or doctor whether any wine is safe for you while taking this medicine.

ASPIRIN

3 of 4
Concomitant use may increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
Concomitant use of aspirin with alcohol may increase the risk of GI bleeding.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to watch with Damason-P: it contains aspirin, and aspirin already irritates the stomach lining and thins the blood a bit. When you add wine (or any alcohol) on top of that, the two together can be harder on your stomach and raise the chance of GI bleeding. That can show up as stomach pain, dark or tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, or feeling unusually tired and lightheaded.

This isn't a rare, theoretical worry. It's a recognized, fairly common interaction, which is why it's rated as major. There's also hydrocodone in this product, and mixing alcohol with that opioid can deepen drowsiness, so it's a double reason to be careful. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before drinking while on this.

NARCOTIC DRUGS

4 of 4

Aspirin, Caffeine, Hydrocodone also falls under NARCOTIC DRUGS.

Concomitant use of large amounts of alcohol may decrease the metabolism of narcotic drugs.
Concomitant consumption of large amounts of alcohol can decrease the metabolism of narcotic drugs.

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to watch with Damason-P: it contains hydrocodone, an opioid pain reliever. Drinking larger amounts of wine can slow down how your body clears that opioid, so it can build up and hit you harder than expected. On top of that, alcohol and opioids both calm the brain, so they stack together. That means more drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, slowed breathing, and a greater risk of dangerously low breathing if you drink a lot.

There's also aspirin in this product, and alcohol raises the chance of stomach irritation or bleeding. An occasional small glass is a lower concern than heavy or regular drinking, but please check with your pharmacist or doctor about what's safe for you. Don't change your medication on your own.

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.
