Hydrocodone is the most frequently prescribed opiate in the United States with nearly 130 million prescriptions for hydrocodone-containing products dispensed in 2006. There are several hundred brand name and generic hydrocodone products marketed. All are combination products and the most frequently prescribed combination is hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Vicodin®, Lortab®, Lorcet®).

Loratab is an analgesic opiate.
Loratab contains Tylenol (or acetaminophen) and Hydrocodone. Hydrocordone (which is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive) is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two of the naturally occurring opiates - Codeine and Thebaine.

Lortab is a combination of acetaminophen, a non-narcotic analgesic, and hydrocodone, which is a semi-synthetic opiate.

If I remember correctly Lortab is Loratidine, which is an antihistamine and while it is supposed to be less sedating than some other medications, any anti-histamine can cause sedation.
