Lortab is a pain medication consisting of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is considered a member of the opiate class. Acetaminophen is tylenol.

Answer by  Petalmaker1 (263)

Lortab is an excellent pain reliever but is only available on prescription due to its codeine content, which can make it addictive. Lortab is made up of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is semi-synthetic narcotic and is an opiate. It is therefore prescribed with much discretion and mostly suitable for short-term use.
