Hi

Lortab has two ingredients in it - hydrocodone and acetominophen.

You are a more likely to be allergic to the hydrocodone.

What medication are you taking a pleasant?

Hi

You're therefore allergic to hydrocodone, probably.

You have a few options to improve your pain control.

1. Add in an anti-inflammatory - such as your ibuprofen - 600 mg three times per day.

2. And in an antidepressant - several are a very helpful in patients with chronic pain particularly amitriptyline, duloxetine, venlafaxine.

3. Add in capsaicin cream - this is effective in about 50% of patients with chronic pain.
