📋Overview
Hydrocodone is a prescription opioid medication commonly used to manage moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception and response to pain. Hydrocodone is often combined with other ingredients, such as acetaminophen, to enhance its pain-relieving effects. It is also associated with a risk of dependence and other side effects typical of opioid drugs.
