it's very similar to a vicodin but has a little more of the narcotic opiate agent hydrocodone. Norco has 10 mg as opposed, but a little less tylenol (350mg) as opposed to vicodin with 5mg or 7.5 of the hydrocodone agent for extra strength vicodin. It's a drug with a very good safety profile if taken as prescribed. Basically it is a last stop before moving on to a morphine based drug such as percocet or oxycontin
This is used to treat severe pain.
It is a Narcotic painkiller.
Just a note, it is actually illegal to share medication particularly a narcotic like this.
Norco is a just another brand name (like Vicoden)
Generic Name: acetaminophen and hydrocodone.
To treat a headache, you might be better off getting a prescription for 600mg of Ibuprophen.
