Explanation
Answer: B - Lortab is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen used to treat pain.  It should be noted that it is an opioid medication, with a risk for addiction and dependence. Lortab can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or combined with other substances, especially alcohol or other illicit drugs such as heroin or cocaine.
 
Lortab is a prescription medication used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a combination of hydrocodone, an opioid pain reliever, and acetaminophen, a non-opioid pain reliever.
 
The common side effects of Lortab include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and dry mouth. More serious side effects include shallow breathing, slowed heart rate, confusion, and allergic reactions.
 
Lortab can be habit-forming and should only be taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the dosing instructions and not take more than the prescribed amount, as this can lead to overdose and serious health consequences.
