The dangers that could arise from taking prescription painkillers are real. Knowing all the Lorcet precautions, risks and warnings is important in order to avoid serious complications. The most important thing to know about Lorcet and other opiate painkillers is that they can be habit forming. The drug’s prescribing label explains how the drug should be taken to ensure safety. Lorcet is the combination of hydrocodone, a potent narcotic painkiller, and acetaminophen, a non-narcotic pain reliever. It is meant to treat moderate to severe pain but is susceptible to abuse and illegal diversion. Using Lorcet recreationally or in any way that goes against instructions is extremely dangerous. Taking it over a long period of time can lead to physical and psychological dependence. Lorcet can be dangerous – even deadly – when combined with some other substances. The drug depresses the central nervous system. Mixing it with other CNS depressants can lead to overdose. These include alcohol, other opiates, antidepressants and sedatives. Overdose can also occur if patients take too much Lorcet or if a patient who is not already tolerant to opiates takes too high of a dose.

## Care Needs to Be Taken When Lorcet or Other Opiates Are Prescribed

There are a number of medical conditions that may not be compatible with Lorcet use. These include a history of drug or alcohol abuse; head injury; lung, liver or kidney disorders; Addison’s disease; underactive thyroid; and enlarged prostate. Lorcet may also slow reaction times and cause drowsiness. People who need to drive or operate machinery should do so with caution because of this. People who are elderly or debilitated may be more sensitive to the drug’s effects so they should be cautious as well. Acetaminophen can also be dangerous in high doses. It is a popular drug used in many over-the-counter medications. High doses can lead to severe liver damage. Patients should always check their medications to see if any of them contain acetaminophen. Regular use of Lorcet can cause a tolerance, meaning the drug’s effects are diminished and patients need increasingly higher doses to achieve the same effect.
