"vicoprofen was prescribed to me after a laparoscopy (removed ovarian cyst) i hardly felt anything at all.  i only need to take it about once every 12 hours.  please eat first.  i was lightheaded and confused after taking it once on an empty stomach.  also, don&#039;t drink alcohol.  my surgery was a few days before thanksgiving and i had a glass of wine and felt sick to my stomach all night through the next day.  never make that mistake again. overall the medication was good. like i said, i felt nothing after taking the pill."
