Since hydrocodone is metabolized by the liver, continued use can lead to liver damage. If it's taken in combination with acetaminophen, as it often is due to combination medications like Norco and Lortab, the risk of liver damage and liver failure is even greater.
What are the effects of hydrocodone pills?
Nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur. Some of these side effects may decrease after you have been using this medication for a while. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
