Lorcet Side Effects

Knowing the possible side effects of a particular prescription medication is important for all patients. Lorcet can cause effects that include nausea, constipation and euphoria. This and other narcotic medications can also lead to other problems including tolerance, physical and psychological addiction, overdose and the need for medical detox. The opiate-based painkiller carries a label that spells out instructions on use, information on allergic reaction, possible interactions and other warnings. Not every patient will experience the same side effects with Lorcet. For some, effects will begin soon after the first dose. For others, the onset could take longer. Lorcet is the brand name for hydrocodone, a potent narcotic analgesic, and acetaminophen, a non-narcotic pain reliever. That same combination is also marketed as Lortab, Vicodin and Norco. It is meant for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It can also be used to suppress chronic cough.

Lorcet Side Effects Can Range from Common to Extremely Severe

Constipation is one of the most commonly-reported effects of narcotic medications. Left untreated, severe constipation can lead to a blockage which can be serious. Even with short-term use, patients can experience nausea, vomiting, sedation, euphoria, lightheadedness, vision changes, mood changes, dizziness, fatigue, depression, tremors, sleeplessness, anxiousness, flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, dry mouth, pupil constriction, itching, hallucination, delirium, sweating, muscle and bone pain, confusion, extreme irritability and muscle spasms. Medical help should be sought immediately if patients experience any of these more serious side effects: severe respiratory depression, slow or irregular breathing, slowed heart rate, hearing loss, changes in the amount of urine, confusion or stupor, coma, clammy skin, circulatory collapse and cardiac arrest. Acetaminophen can also cause liver damage in excessive amounts. Signs to watch for include yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe nausea, dark urine, stomach pain or extreme drowsiness.
