Both are still pain killers. You can use the vicodin to help you taper if you run out of percs but they are both still narcotics. See information below!
Lortab is a narcotic analgesic (pain killer).
Hydrocodone relieves pain.
Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone. Together, Lortab is most commonly used to relieve moderate-to-severe pain. Lortab may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

Vicodin
Generic ingredients: Hydrocodone bitartrate, Acetaminophen
Other brand names: Anexsia, Co-Gesic, Hydrocet, Lorcet, Lortab, Maxidone,

Federal law states you must have a valid RX prescription from your doctor to buy certain RX medications.
Vicodin combines a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever with a non-narcotic analgesic for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.
Vicodin can be habit-forming. If you take this drug over a long period of time, you can become mentally and physically dependent on it, and you may find the drug no longer works for you at the prescribed dosage.
