Below will be links for the full Podcast and the Drug Card for Norco along with a brief summary of various points on Norco. 

This episode of Drug Cards Daily is on the drug hydrocodone / acetaminophen (APAP). Hydrocodone / APAP has a variety of brand names but most commonly known as Norco or Vicodin. (Make sure to download the free drug card for Norco below!)

It is a combination product containing an opioid and analgesic. Hydrocodone / APAP is typically used in the management of both acute and chronic pain. It comes in a tablet, solution, and elixir form.

The main concerns are the potential for abuse, the CNS depressing effects, and not exceeding >4000 mg/day of acetaminophen (APAP).

Constipation is a very common concern due to the opioid component so recommending a stool softener is highly recommended.

Patients should not drive while on this drug and avoid alcohol.
