Lortab tablets typically contain hydrocodone bitartrate, which is derived from codeine and acts as a centrally-acting analgesic similar to morphine. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain and providing pain relief. The combination with acetaminophen enhances its effectiveness through a synergistic effect, allowing for lower doses of hydrocodone to achieve pain control. Acetaminophen, commonly known as Tylenol, further contributes to pain relief and also helps reduce fever.
The primary indication for Lortab is the management of pain that is moderate to severe in intensity. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as post-operative pain, injury-related pain, and pain associated with chronic conditions like arthritis or back pain.
