Lortab is typically prescribed for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain. It is often used to treat conditions such as dental pain, injuries, and post-surgical pain. Lortab is available in tablet form and is usually taken orally.

As with all opioid medications, Lortab carries a risk of dependence, abuse, and addiction, especially with prolonged use or at high doses. It is essential to use Lortab only as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. Abrupt discontinuation of Lortab can lead to withdrawal symptoms, so it's important to taper off the medication under medical supervision if it needs to be stopped.
