Facts

  • PCP comes in a variety of different colors and is often sold in a variety of forms including tablet, capsule, and colored powder forms that are snorted, smoked, or orally ingested.
  • The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day.
