About

Hydrocodone is a synthetic opioid analgesic that can fall anywhere from schedule 2 to schedule 4 controlled substance, depending on the concentration used. Being a synthetic opioid analgesic essentially means that it was developed in a laboratory to have the same pain-relieving or analgesic effects as found in natural opioids, like morphine and codeine.
