Lortab is a prescription pain medication that combines hydrocodone with acetaminophen to treat moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone acts as a narcotic pain reliever, while acetaminophen enhances its effectiveness and helps reduce fever. Lortab is typically prescribed for short-term use due to the potential for addiction and misuse. Side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, and nausea. Long-term use or misuse can lead to dependence, liver damage from the acetaminophen component, or overdose. Patients should use Lortab exactly as prescribed and avoid alcohol or other depressants while taking it.
