DICO

Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid primarily used as a strong analgesic. It acts by activating the μ-opioid receptors in the central nervous system and has a high potential for dependence. In addition to its analgesic effect, hydrocodone can also have sedative and euphoric effects. Due to the risks, it is strictly controlled medically.
