Hello, Bertha! How are you?
It is actually about equivalent to what you were taking, so it should work about the same. Your new prescription contains less of the Acetaminophen, so your doctor has given you one with a higher amount of the narcotic, Hydrocodone, in it to compensate for that.
This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Learn more Norco details here.
Is there anything else I can help with?
