About

Hydrocodone is a prescription opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is often combined with other analgesics like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen to enhance pain relief. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception and response to pain.
