Lortab
Overdose
Lortab is a narcotic analgesic,
meaning of course that just like morphine both addiction and lethal overdose
are possiblities. Lortab is the brand name for the combination of acetaminophen
(Tylenol) and hydrocodone. The mane danger assoicated with an overdose of Lortab
is respiratory depression.
A Lortab overdose happens when you consume more Lortab than your body can safely
handle. Overdose of Lortab is primarily due to the high levels of acetaminophen
which damages the liver, not strictly due to the hydrocodone component of Lortab.
The
symptoms of an overdose from Lortab include:
- muscle
spasticity

and labored breathing

breathing

pupils

skin (fingernails and lips)
