Vicodin

Vicodin is a brand-name prescription pain medication that contains the combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid pain reliever, and acetaminophen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Vicodin is used to treat moderate to severe pain, such as pain from surgery, injury, or cancer.

Vicodin is a Schedule II controlled substance, which means that it has a high potential for abuse and addiction. It is important to take Vicodin only as prescribed by your doctor and to follow all of your doctor’s instructions carefully.
