Can Vicodin Cause Prolonged Periods?

I got into a trampoline accident 10 days ago and had to have 36 stitches above my eyebrow. It was a very bad blow to my head (by my knee) and was given vicodin and antibiotics by the ER doctor. Strangely enough I started my period the day before this happened and now ten days later I am still on my period (normally 4-5 days long) Could this be an affect of the medicine and not my period at all. It is bright pinkish- red blood.

Hi,

No. Vicodin doesn't really have any such side effect but you should consult with your gynecologist about the situation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
