How Soon Should Norco Be Stopped During Pregnancy?
I am 34 weeks pregnant and have been taking 1-2 10/325mg norcos my whole pregnancy. I am concerned my baby will withdraw if I don’t taper off before delivery. The 1-2 a day isn’t even touching my pain at this point so it seems pointless to even take them other than I’ve been on them over a year and I’m sure me and baby will withdraw if I stop cold turkey. My question is how soon do I need to stop to avoid my baby withdrawing? Or will my baby even withdraw from one a day?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Norco can last in your system for 3 to 4 weeks. So even if you quit taking Norco bow, there is a definite possibility that baby will develop withdrawal symptoms after delivery. So, please be advised to discontinue Norco at the earliest.
