• Pain Management: Norco is prescribed for the relief of moderate to severe pain that cannot be managed by non-opioid pain relievers alone.
• Post-Surgical Pain: Often used after surgical procedures or injuries where pain control is critical.

Tablets: Norco is commonly available in tablet form, which can be taken orally. The strength of the tablets typically includes 5 mg, 7.5 mg, or 10 mg of hydrocodone with 325 mg of acetaminophen.

• Respiratory Depression: High doses or misuse can lead to slowed or difficult breathing, which can be life-threatening.
• Addiction and Dependence: Norco has a potential for abuse and can lead to physical and psychological dependence.
• Liver Damage: Due to the acetaminophen component, taking more than the recommended dose can lead to severe liver damage.
