Shawna,
It is called Norco 10/325 it is supposed to be alittle stronger than
Lortab 7.5mg. I had never heard of it either until the doctor gave it
to me. It doesn't seem to be stronger. I am only supposed to take no
more than 4 per day for breakthrough pain. But these days that is not
enough. I am going to have to talk to my dr about changing or being
able to take 2 at a time to help. I think I have been trying to do too
much and I am paying for it so the RX is not working as well - got to go
so I can lay down and see if it helps the pain-love and hope
Lynn
