Hydrocodone – Relax Pharmacies

Hydrocodone, also known as dihydrocodeinone, acts as a semisynthetic opioid used in pain management and as a cough suppressant. Patients take it orally. Usually, healthcare providers prescribe it in combination with acetaminophen/hydrocodone or ibuprofen/hydrocodone for severe pain necessitating opioid intervention, and in conjunction with homatropine methylbromide to alleviate coughing. It is also available by itself in a long-acting form under the brand name Zohydro ER, among others, to treat severe pain of a prolonged duration. Hydrocodone is a controlled drug: in the United States a Schedule II Controlled Substance.
