Vicodin is hydrocodone. Very popular painkiller in Hollywood, and pretty common for dental pain after tooth surgery. |
Hydrocodone is often combined with other, less-powerful compounds like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I assume for health concerns. If there is an HCL proceeding the name of the medication, it means that it contains hydrochloride, which makes the drug more water soluble and generally stable. Again, I assume for health concerns. |
I'd say it's most similar to codeine. Sold under brand names: Anexsia Biocodone Damason-P Dicodid Duodin Hycet Hycodan Hydrococet Hydrokon Hydrovo Kolikodol Lorcet Lortab Mercodinone Norco Norgan Novahistex Orthoxycol Panacet Symtan Synkonin Vicodin Xodol Zydone...anything I'm missing? |
