How Norco works?

Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen works in your brain to block pain signals. They decrease your ability to feel pain. It is taken orally and has to pass through your digestive system before you sense its effects. It starts showing its results within an hour.

Hydrocodone works by linking to the mu-opioid receptor. The working of acetaminophen is still unclear, but it may involve blocking the creation of prostaglandins. It may prescribe following an injury or a major surgery or treat other types of severe pain like cancer or arthritis. Hydrocodone comes with various warnings due to its high potential for abuse and addiction.

What to avoid while using Norco?

Norco may cause impairment in your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving a vehicle or operating anything until you know the effect of Norco on your body. Dizziness or drowsiness (severe) can cause accidental falls or severe injuries.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking another allergy, pain, cold, or sleep medication. Taking several products together may increase acetaminophen’s level in your body, leading to a fatal overdose. Check the medicine label to see if it contains acetaminophen or APAP.

Avoid alcohol consumption because it may raise your liver damage risk while taking acetaminophen.
