Opioids-Hydrocodone

Opioids-Hydrocodone

Opioids-Hydrocodone is a prescription pain medication that belongs to the class of opioid analgesics. It is primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain, including pain caused by injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. Hydrocodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which can provide pain relief and a sense of euphoria. However, due to its highly addictive nature and potential for abuse, Hydrocodone is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the United States.
