About
Hydrocodone is an opioid medication used to relieve severe pain. It works by altering the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Hydrocodone is often prescribed for conditions where pain is moderate to severe and cannot be controlled by non-opioid pain relievers. It is commonly combined with other pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to enhance its effectiveness.
