About Vicodin

About Vicodin

What is Vicodin?
Vicodin is a combination medication containing hydrocodone, an opioid pain reliever, and acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol), a non-opioid pain reliever. It is FDA-approved for managing moderate to moderately severe pain when non-opioid options are insufficient. Hydrocodone changes how the brain and nervous system respond to pain, while acetaminophen enhances pain relief and reduces fever.

In 2014, the DEA reclassified Vicodin from Schedule III to Schedule II due to its high potential for misuse, dependence, and addiction. It is generally prescribed for short-term pain relief following surgery, injury, or medical procedures. Vicodin is not intended for long-term or chronic use unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider. Its use must be carefully monitored by a licensed clinician familiar with opioid safety practices.
