What is Norco and how is it used?

Norco one of several the brand names for the combination of acetaminophen (Tylenol ^tm) and hydrocodone. Norco is prescribed for moderate to moderately severe pain. Hydrocodone binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. Acetaminophen halts the production of prostaglandins which otherwise cause pain. Norco is available in tablet, capsule, and liquid form and is taken every 4-6 hours by mouth. Since hydrocodone can be so habit forming, care must be taken to follow the doctor's instructions when taking Norco. Do not take a larger dose, or take it more frequently, or take it for longer than the doctor has prescribed.
