What is Lortab?

Lortab is an opioid pain medication that consists of a combination form of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and hydrocodone. Acetaminophen ( or Tylenol) is a less potent pain reliever that increases hydrocodone (an opioid pain drug) effects. Lortab is beneficial in treating moderate to severe pain, especially when other pain-relieving measures are not sufficient. Lortab also works as a cough suppressant in adults. It is a fixed-dose combination drug consisting of opioid hydrocodone and non-opioid analgesic paracetamol. It indicates relief of moderate to severe acute pain, chronic pain, or postoperative types. You can easily buy Lortab online or from a local pharmacy store.

Important Information

Even at regular doses, hydrocodone available in Lortab 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. Do not use a narcotic medicine 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.

What to know before taking Lortab?

You should avoid using Lortab if you are allergic to hydrocodone or acetaminophen (Tylenol) or recently using alcohol, tranquilizers, sedatives, or other narcotics medications. Do not use Lortab (Acetaminophen/Hydrocodone) if you have taken an MAO inhibitor in the past two weeks. It may lead to a dangerous drug interaction. MAO inhibitors include linezolid, isocarboxazid, rasagiline, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, and selegiline. The interaction of some medicines with hydrocodone causes a severe condition called serotonin syndrome. Make your doctor know if you are taking medication for:

• Depression;
• Mental illness;
• Migraine headaches;
• Parkinson’s disease;
• Serious infections; or
• Prevention of nausea and vomiting

To ensure taking Lortab is safe for your health, tell the doctor if you have:

• A history of drug addiction or alcoholism;
• Cirrhosis, liver disease, or if you consume more than three beverages per day;
• Kidney disease;
• Inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhea, severe constipation, bowel obstruction;
• A history of stroke, brain tumor, or head injury;
• if you are dehydrated or your blood pressure is low;
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders; or
• If you use a sedative like Valium (alprazolam, diazepam, Ativan, lorazepam, Restoril, Klonopin, Versed, Xanax, Tranxene, and others)

How to take Lortab?

Read the available medication guides and patient leaflets carefully before you start taking Lortab and each time you go for a refill. Take this medication orally as per your doctor’s recommendation. You may take Lortab with or without food. If you have nausea, you should take medicine with food. Ask any medical healthcare providers about other formulas to decrease nausea (such as lying down for an hour or two with minimum head movement). If you or anyone else is using the liquid form of Lortab, use a proper medicine dose-measuring device rather than a kitchen spoon. It will help to take the exact amount of the medicine. Your dosage will depend upon your medical condition and initial response to the treatment. In children, the pediatrician prescribes the dosage based on body weight. Do not increase or reduce your dose or take medicine more frequently. Stop the use of Lortab properly. Pain medications work best if you start taking them when the first symptom of pain begins. If you have ongoing pain, your doctor may recommend you to take any long-acting opioid medication. Do not suddenly stop taking Lortab, or you could face unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, especially when you were taking it for a longer duration or in high doses.
