Hydrocodone is a potent opioid medication used primarily for the management of severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics, which work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, thereby reducing the perception of pain. Hydrocodone is often combined with acetaminophen or ibuprofen to enhance its pain-relieving effects.
