What is Vicodin?

Vicodin is a combination medicine used to relieve moderate to severe pain. The combination includes an opioid pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a nonopioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). While hydrocodone works in the brain to change the way how you react to pain. Acetaminophen is known to reduce fever.

This medication is to be taken orally and can be taken with or without food. In case of nausea, it may help to take this medicine with food. Ask your doctor about ways to reduce nausea.
