What is Hydrocodone?
Hydrocodone, which is available in the market under the brand name Zohydro ER is an opioid medication. It is beneficial in treating prolonged duration severe pain or any moderate pain if other measures are not sufficient. Typically it is sold in combinations with acetaminophen or ibuprofen and is available in a long-acting formulation.
Extended-release forms of Hydrocodone are Zohydro ER and Hysingla ER, useful in the around-the-clock treatment of severe pain and helpful as a cough suppressant in adults. It is not meant to take on an as-needed basis for pain. Hydrocodone is for oral intake. It has to pass through the digestive system before feeling its effects on your health. It starts showing its result within an hour.
