About
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid medication primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain. It's often prescribed in combination with other medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to enhance its pain-relieving effects. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, thereby reducing the perception of pain.
