Norco

Norco is a brand name for a prescription medication that combines acetaminophen (paracetamol) and hydrocodone. It is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Acetaminophen helps reduce fever and minor pain, while hydrocodone is an opioid that affects the brain to decrease the perception of pain. Because of its opioid component, Norco has the potential for addiction, misuse, and side effects like drowsiness or respiratory issues. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness, and only for the duration suggested.
