Can Hydrocodone Be Taken With Olanzapine While Suffering From Dementia?

My dad suffered a stroke and he has dementia. Recently he had a fall which resulted in a hairline fracture between his arm and shoulder. His doctor prescribed hydrocodone acetamin for the pain. My question is, can hydrocodone be taken with olanzapine (5mg) at night? He has trouble sleeping if I don t give him the olanzapine. Thank you.

Hello,

You can safely continue hydrocodone with olanzapine.

It will not interact with each other or affect the efficacy of one another.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
