My daughter is nine and was recently given Lortab Elixer at the emergency room for a fractured foot. This was a huge mistake! The medicine had no sooner hit her mouth and it was projectile vomited straight back out. Why the nurse chose an alcohol based liquid I will never understand. This pain reliever is obviously not for children and I am horrified that it has not been labeled as such. Hope ... Show Full Comment

Hopefully parents across the nation will complain to their pediatricians as I plan to do and help to keep this medication from traumatizing and possibly poisoning other children in the future.

This medication was prescribed to me after I had fractured my in two places. I found this medication helpful in the treatment of pain due to its short onset and long duration. Also, two doses of this medication worked more effectively than four doses of liquid Motrin throughout the course of the day.

I can only speak for myself but my insurance co-pay made this prescription cheaper than purchasing an OTC pain reliever (Tylenol/Motrin oral suspension). The narcotic effect is enjoyable, I can understand how people would abuse this drug.

Im 21 years old. I have lesions and abcesses in my throat and they gave me Hydrocodone (lortab elixir) for the pain. The first couple doses didnt seem to work. But have been taking it almost two days now and I can eat and drink just fine now. I would recommend to just give it time.

My 8 year old son was put on this med because Tylenol w/codeine was ineffective after a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. This med has been fairly effective for pain, however he has had constant nausea, no appetite, sleeps all the time, and is "out of it" when he is awake.

My son (2 1/2 y/o) fractured his femure. Dr gave this as medicine for pain. Gave him half a dose (2ml vs 4 ml) and son woke up screaming after a couple of hours. He looked terrified and was unable to calm him down. Heart rate rate was not normal, breathing was labored. Took him into ER and DR said nightmares are a common side effect for little children. Then got T3 in place of lortab. Highly encou ... Show Full Comment
