Hydrocodone, also known as dihydrocodeinone, is a semisynthetic opioid used to treat pain and as a cough suppressant.^[1] It is taken by mouth.^[1]

Most of the time it is dispensed as the combination acetaminophen/hydrocodone or ibuprofen/hydrocodone for pain severe enough to require an opioid^[11]^[12]^[13] and in combination with homatropine methylbromide to relieve cough.^[1] It is also available by itself in a long-acting form under the brand name Zohydro ER, among others, to treat long-term severe pain.^[1]^[14]
