About
Hydrocodone is a powerful opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is a narcotic analgesic that works by binding to the opiate receptors in the brain, changing the way the body responds to pain. Hydrocodone is often prescribed for short-term pain relief following surgery or injury, or for long-term management of chronic pain conditions.
