What is stronger lor tabs or Norco 10/325, pill?!


Question: What is stronger lor tabs or Norco 10/325, pill!?
Answers:
Sorry but that is wrong about that loratabs are only 5mg!. I'm looking at a bottle of 10/500 right now!. 5 mg is vicodin!.

Norco is a brand name for hydrocodone!. Here is a link that will help you!.
http://pdrhealth!.com
or here is the link for hydrocodone
http://www!.pdrhealth!.com/drugs/rx/rx-mon!.!.!.

That's why I always ask people do they really trust just anyone with a computer and access to Yahoo with their health!.
Anybody, can claim they are anything, and not have the slightest idea what they are talking about!.

I've been taking hydrocodone for several years due to a spine injury!. Sometimes they call it Norco and sometimes it's loratabs it varies by pharmacy at times!.!. They are all hydrocodone and tylenol!.

They call 7!.5 hydrocodone loratabs in Florida and Vicodin ES in California!. It all depends on if you want generic and where you are located

EDIT: and hydrocodone is NOT referred to as loratabs at the 2!.5 and 5!.0mg strengths!. Also it comes in tylenol strengths of 325mg, 500mg, and 750mg!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lortab? is a general brand name for many combination preparations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen!. It is available in the following combinations: Lortab?:
Elixir-
2!.5 mg - 167mg/ 5 ml (480 ml)
Tabets-
2!.5/500mg, 5/500mg, 7!.5/500mg, 7!.5/650 mg, 7!.5/750 mg, 10mg/325mg, 10/500mg, 10/650mg!.
Norco?: is also a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen with the following available combinations: 5/325mg, 7!.5/325mg,10/325mg!.

If you compare the Lortab? 10/325 to the Norco? 10/325 the medications are identical in strength!.

For the minimal advantage of a slight boost to the effect of the hydrocodone with the acetaminophen the Lortab? 10/500 and Lortab? 10/650 might be said to be slightly stronger!. But the increase in strength would be only from the increase of approximately one acetaminophen (Tylenol?)!.

Many health care providers feel that the amount of relief provided by an additional 2,000 mg of acetaminophen per day is not of enough benefit to compensate for the additional requirements for the liver and kidneys in removing the chemical from the system!.

Please note that there are multile different preparations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen!. The amounts of both hydrocodone and acetaminophen are often changed, allowing the company to place a separate brand name on the medication for a short time!. In most cases, the prescriptions are filled with generic formulations, and not the brand names often used on YA!. The common brand names seen include:
Anexsia?
Co-gesic?
Lorcet?
Lortab?
Norco?
Panacet?
Vicodin?
Zydone?

These are most often labeled as hydrocodone/APAP with a number signifiying the amount of hydrocodone and APAP on occasion they will also have the brand name the physician used to make it easier for the patient to understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lortabs are actually manufactured in four different strengths; 2!.5/500, 5!.0/500, 7!.5/500, and 10/500!. The first number refers to the quantity of hydrocodone, the second the quantity of acetaminophen!. Usually they're referred to as Lortab 2!.5, Lortab 5, etc!. So, whether Lortab is stronger than Norco 10/325 depends on exactly which Lortab you are referring to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lortabs have only 5 mg of hydrocodone in them norco has 10 mg of hydrocodone in them so norco is twice as strong as lortabs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
