Treatment Summary
Hydrocodone is a medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is usually taken in combination with acetaminophen and is rarely used as a cough suppressant. Hydrocodone’s more powerful metabolite, hydromorphone, is used in cases of severe pain. Hydrocodone was first approved by the FDA in 1943 as part of the cough suppressant syrup Hycodan.

How Vicoprofen Affects Patients
Hydrocodone blocks signals of pain from reaching the brain and spine. It can also cause feelings of pleasure, slower breathing, and drowsiness.
How Vicoprofen works in the body
Hydrocodone works by binding to two types of opioid receptors in the body and brain. When it binds to the mu opioid receptor, it helps to reduce pain by preventing the release of nerve signals in the spinal cord. It also activates reward and addiction pathways in the brain, which can lead to feelings of pleasure and sedation. It may also work on delta opioid receptors but this has not been studied as much. When it binds to these receptors, it can help reduce pain by blocking nerve signals, as well as suppressing coughing and breathing.

Risk Level
Description
Astemizole
Major
The metabolism of Astemizole can be decreased when combined with Hydrocodone.
Azelastine
Major
Hydrocodone may increase the central nervous system depressant (CNS depressant) activities of Azelastine.
Cyclophosphamide
Major
The metabolism of Cyclophosphamide can be decreased when combined with Hydrocodone.
Eluxadoline
Major
The risk or severity of constipation can be increased when Hydrocodone is combined with Eluxadoline.
Enasidenib
Major
The metabolism of Enasidenib can be decreased when combined with Hydrocodone.
Vicoprofen Toxicity & Overdose Risk
Overdosing on hydrocodone can cause symptoms similar to opioid intoxication, including slowed breathing, unconsciousness, limp muscles, cold and clammy skin, small pupils, fluid buildup in the lungs, slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, and possibly death. If someone has overdosed on hydrocodone, medical professionals should make sure they have a clear airway and provide assisted ventilation if necessary. Other treatments such as fluids, oxygen, and medications to raise blood pressure may be needed to support their circulation. In addition, naloxone may be used to reverse the effects of hydrocodone, but emergency monitoring is still
