Uses:
The purpose of this combo drug is to treat moderate to severe pain. Both an opioid painkiller (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid painkiller are present (acetaminophen). The brain-based effects of hydrocodone alter how your body perceives and reacts to pain. Additionally, acetaminophen helps lower a fever.
