What is Lortab?

Lortab is a combination medication that helps relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains hydrocodone as an opioid pain reliever and acetaminophen as a non-opioid pain reliever. Hydrocodone functions in the brain and changes how your body feels pain and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can help in the reduction of fever.

Important Information

Even at regular doses, hydrocodone may be habit-forming. Never share this medicine with someone else, especially someone with a past of drug abuse or addiction. Misuse of narcotic medicine like Lortab can cause addiction, overdose, and death, particularly in a child or a person using this medicine without a prescription. It is against the lawful act to sell or give away Lortab.

The interaction of some medicines with hydrocodone causes a severe condition called serotonin syndrome. Do not use a narcotic drug during pregnancy; your baby could become drug-dependent. You should not breastfeed while taking Lortab because Hydrocodone and acetaminophen harm a nursing baby by passing into the breast milk.
