Lortab (Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen): Uses, Safety Information & Medical Guidance
What Is Lortab?
Lortab is a brand name for a combination prescription medication containing hydrocodone, an opioid pain reliever, and acetaminophen, a non-opioid analgesic. It is used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain when treatment with an opioid is considered appropriate. Because hydrocodone is an opioid, Lortab carries risks of misuse, dependence, addiction, and overdose and should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Medical Uses
A healthcare provider may prescribe Lortab for:

Moderate to moderately severe acute pain
Pain following surgery or injury when appropriate
Certain chronic pain conditions when alternative treatments are not sufficient
The dosage and duration of therapy are determined based on the patient’s condition, medical history, and response to treatment.

How Lortab Works
Lortab combines two medications that work in different ways:

Hydrocodone acts on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain.
Acetaminophen helps relieve pain and may enhance the overall pain-relieving effect of hydrocodone.
Together, these ingredients help provide effective pain relief when used as prescribed.

Important Safety Information
Lortab should only be taken exactly as directed by a licensed healthcare professional.

Possible side effects include:

Drowsiness
Dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Constipation
Dry mouth
Sleepiness
Serious risks include slowed breathing, overdose, physical dependence, addiction, and liver injury if excessive amounts of acetaminophen are taken.

Avoid alcohol and other medications that cause drowsiness unless specifically approved by your healthcare provider, as these combinations can increase the risk of serious side effects.

Responsible Use
Before taking Lortab, tell your healthcare provider if you have:

Liver or kidney disease
Asthma or other breathing disorders
A history of substance use disorder
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Any prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements you are taking
Never share your medication with another person, and do not change your dose without medical advice.

Storage
Store Lortab securely at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, and out of the reach of children and others for whom it was not prescribed. Dispose of unused medication through an authorized medication take-back program whenever possible.

Final Note
Lortab can provide effective pain relief when used appropriately under medical supervision. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and obtain prescription medications through licensed healthcare providers and authorized pharmacies.
