LORCET PLUS WARNINGS
Lorcet Plus can be habit-forming. You should not use more than the prescribed
amount of Lorcet Plus. Check with your doctor before taking Lorcet
Plus if you have liver or kidney disease, an enlarged prostate gland, or trouble urinating.
Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to a narcotic drug such as codeine. The reaction may have included wheezing or trouble breathing, hives, rash, or swelling in the face. Codeine can cause an upset stomach, but an upset stomach is not an allergic reaction. If you have taken Lorcet

Plus as you may need to take smaller and smaller amounts
of Lorcet Plus before stopping completely.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before taking Lorcet
