The combination is marketed under different names.
It is possible that there are slight differences in manufacturing or additives to the medication that are affecting you because the essential components are the same.
The other brand name that contains the same medications is called lortab. You can ask your doctor to try this one to see if it helps you.
I hope this helps

Took Vicodin For Several Years, Changed To Norco As Its No Longer In Market. Having Many Side Effect. Alternative ?
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic Vicodin is a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Narco is also a combination of the same medications. The combination is marketed under different names. It is possible that there are slight differences in manufacturing or additives to the medication that are affecting you because the essential components are the same. The other brand name that contains the same medications is called lortab. You can ask your doctor to try this one to see if it helps you. I hope this helps
