Lortab is a medication that is part of a group called narcotic pain relievers. Lortab is prescribed for treating mild up to severe head aches, as well as other pain problems and with it by your side you are assured that pain will never be a problem again. Using Lortab is very easy, and all you have to do is take it once pain strikes.

What to know before using Lortab

There are several things that you have to be careful though when you use Lortab as a pain releaver. Do not use this medication if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or hydrocodone. Hydrocodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Lortab should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

Before using Lortab, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

* asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
* liver or kidney disease;
* a history of head injury or brain tumor;
* low blood pressure;
* a stomach or intestinal disorder;
* underactive thyroid;
* Addison’s disease or other adrenal gland disorder;
* curvature of the spine;
* mental illness;
* a history of drug or alcohol addiction.

Also you have to tell your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen.

In case of women special attention has to be taken in case of pregnancy. The FDA categories it as a type C special warning. It is not known whether Lortab is harmful to an unborn baby, but it could cause breathing problems or addiction/withdrawal symptoms in a newborn. Before you take Lortab, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Acetaminophen and hydrocodone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use Lortab without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Lortab may be habit-forming and it should not be used by other persons except by the person it was prescribed for because each dosage is specific for each person. This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
