Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand Your concern.
Norco contains Hydrocodone and Paracetamol.
Paracetamol is the safest pain killer and antipyretic. It has very broad therapeutic window; means its toxic dose is very high.
You can avail it but if your pain is controlled with hydrocodone then don't bother yourself with combination.
Hope it helps best. Take your best care.
