User Reviews for Lortab Elixir oral

My daughter is 3 years old and she had her tonsils out. I gave her this med every 4 hours and after the second day she just didnt want it anymore and so i just stop giving it to her she was eating and drinking good. but it done the job for her. At 3 years old. she did hate the taste but what kid wouldnt.

had a tonsillectomy. 1-3 tsp every 4-6 hr. wears off VERY quickly. Felt very nauseous.

33 year old female. 2-3 teaspoons every 4-6 hours. My surgery was 2 days ago, and in the beginning I was stretching it out to 3 tsp every 5 hours, but now I can barely reach 4 hours. My doctor did warn me that the pain would get worse. But he also put me on an anti-nausea med in case the hydrocodone made me sick. This medicine (promethazine) tastes much worse than the hydrocodone causing me to stay off of it and just hold still.

I had a my tonsils removed (along with some other upper throat and septum work). My only prob with this med is that it doesn't last long enough. My dose is 15mL every 4 hours. The pain is back in about 1/2 the time.

This is working for my child (6yrs) who had her tonsils/adenoids removed. She HATES the taste but knows that it will provide some relief. The day after surgery she was drinking and eating soft foods, but I did give her the med. every 4 hours on the nose. Just swallow it down quickly and chase with a flavored drink (her choice=orange gatorade/vernors) and its done! If she can do it, so can you.

25 year old female with ulcerated esophogus. the med takes the edge off the pain, but i am only able to take it at night due to the drowsiness it causes. The taste is not that bad if you consider the relief it provides.

s/p T & A - miserable. MD reccs dose of 15ml/4hours - what?? That means 7.5mg hydrocodone/500mg tylenol. It barely takes the edge off for an hour. WTF? I have had my throat slit open. Even MD reccs to increase to 22.5 ml still leaves me in pain before the 4 hour dosing window opens. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE! T & A approx 84 hours ago and have not slept more than 2 hours and swallowing is excruciating. Will have to return to MD office on Monday - I'm actually getting bronchitis/productive cough too!

I am recovering from a UPPP, tonsillectomy and deviated septum repair. My nose is not bothering me at all. I HATE this med! It burns going down and the pain relief is only good for about 1 1/2 hrs. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and had much better pain control with Vicodin when I had previous surgeries. I am to the point that I am taking ES Tylenol caplets as these are less painful to swallow. I am not getting any sleep effects from this medication either.

I am 29 yr. old Male I had a Tonsillectamy. I have found this med to taste like Robitussin that is not flavored. However once you get past the taste it works very well.

I find this medication to be effective, not in the sense that it just gets rid of the pain, but it knocks me out so I sleep until its time to take more. Its somewhat easy to use, burns though going down. I, much like the other people writing a review on this medication had my tonsils and adnoids removed. I appologize for any misspellings.. as i am still mixed up b/c of the meds. I wouldn't switch though, I do not tolerate medications well and its rare for one to work for me. So I would reccomend it even though it burns going down and has to be sipped. Takes me atleast 5-10 minutes to take 4 tsp. Read More Read Less

I had my tonsils and adnoids removed. This medication is the only reason I can swollow at all let alone get any sleep after my surgery.

I am a 36 year old female that has had a tonsilectomy. For this type of pain, the medication has worked very well. Of course there is still pain, but considering that a portion of my body in my head was removed from my body and without the medicine it is excruciating to swallow, I am so thankful for being able to take a great edge off of the pain.

Attempt to get another med. Taking this med will cause nausea and/or vomiting (this is soley from the taste of the med). PT = 27 YOM, tonsilectomy, 2-3 TSP every 4-6 hours "as needed" meds would wear off in 3 hours. Taste of med would delay the dosing (thinking that maybe the pain was not that bad to be made to drink this med again). Mixing w/ water, Sprite, Gatorade does not help with taste!! Good Luck
