Hydrocodone , also known as dihydrocodeinone , is a semi-synthetic opioid used to treat pain and as a cough suppressant .[ 10] It is taken by mouth.[ 10] Typically, 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.[ 10] It is also available by itself in a long-acting form sold under the brand name Zohydro ER , among others, to treat severe pain of a prolonged duration.[ 10] [ 14] Hydrocodone is a controlled drug: in the United States, it is classified as a Schedule II Controlled Substance .
Common side effects include dizziness , sleepiness , nausea , and constipation .[ 10] Serious side effects may include low blood pressure , seizures , QT prolongation , respiratory depression , and serotonin syndrome .[ 10] Rapidly decreasing the dose may result in opioid withdrawal .[ 10] Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally not recommended.[ 15] Hydrocodone is believed to work by activating opioid receptors , mainly in the brain and spinal cord.[ 10] Hydrocodone 10 mg is equivalent to about 10 mg of morphine by mouth.[ 16]
Hydrocodone was patented in 1923, while the long-acting formulation was approved for medical use in the United States in 2013.[ 10] [ 17] It is most commonly prescribed in the United States, which consumed 99% of the worldwide supply as of 2010.[ 18] In 2018, it was the 402nd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 400,000 prescriptions.[ 19] Hydrocodone is a semisynthetic opioid, converted from codeine [ 20] [ 21] or less often from thebaine .[ 22] Production using genetically engineered yeasts has been developed but is not used commercially.[ 23] [ 24] [ 25]
