Lortabis a prescription medication that contains a combination of hydrocodoneand acetaminophen. It is used to relieve moderate to severe pain, and works by blocking pain signals in the brain. Lortab is a controlled substance and can be habit-forming, so it should only be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.
Lortab contains two active ingredients: hydrocodone and acetaminophen.
Hydrocodone is an opioid pain reliever that works by binding to receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing the perception of pain. Acetaminophen is a non-opioid pain reliever that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and fever. Together, these two drugs provide more effective pain relief than either drug would alone. However, because hydrocodone is an opioid, it has the potential to be habit-forming and can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and respiratory depression.
