Hello,
Norco contains two medications acetaminophen and hydrocodone (which is also an opioid/narcotic).
Tylenol contains only acetaminophen.
So, Norco is a stronger pain killer but may cause addiction. It is generally used for acute severe pain and can be later switched to safer treatments.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
I wish you good health.
