Lorcet is a vicodin based painkiller designed for patients with moderate to severe pain. It is intended to be taken orally, but injecting the drug puts the user at further risks in addition to the normal possible side effects.

General Side Effects

Lorcet is known to cause dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, drowsiness, and vomiting. These side effects may prevent users from performing complicated tasks like driving a car.

Dependency

Lorcet, like all vicodin, is potentially addictive and should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor. Failure to take the drug in a careful, routine manner can result in physical and psychological dependency.

Allergy Risks

Individuals reporting an allergic reaction to hydrocodone, other vicodin-based painkillers, or acetaminophen are at high risk of a severe allergic reaction to Lorcet.

Food and Drug Reactions

There is a substantial list of products that interact with Lorcet in a negative way. This list includes, but is not limited to, alcohol, anti-anxiety medications, depressants, anti-depression medication, and antihistamines. Reactions may prevent the accurate diagnosis of a medical problem or cause negative physical reactions including death.

Injection Risks

Dangers specific to injecting Lorcet include a higher risk of overdose, increased possibility of addiction, higher risk of infection, and damage to peripheral veins, which can produce toxins in the blood stream. Moreover, if the drug is injected rather than taken orally, there is significantly less time to react to an overdose or accidental usage.
