vicodan versus hydrocodone

Can someone please make compressing between possible side effects of Vicodin and Hydrocordone? They are both pain reliever and you can become dependable on both drugs. My father was on Vicodin treatment long time ago, but currently he is on Hydrocordone treatment. I just want to compare them.

Ok. Possible side effects from Hydrocordone and Vicodin are almost the same. The side effects are: an allergic reaction ,difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives, slow weak breathing seizures, unconsciousness; severe weakness or dizziness… other side effects may occur too.

Hi!

Here is what I found for you:

Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone (marketed as Vicodin, Anexsia, Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Hydroco, Tussionex, Vicoprofen) is an opioid derived from either of the naturally occurring opiates codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive. The typical therapeutic dose of 5 to 10 mg is pharmacologically equivalent to 30 to 60 mg of oral codeine.[citation needed] Sales and production of this drug have increased significantly in recent years, as have diversion and illicit use. Hydrocodone is commonly available in tablet, capsule and syrup form.

Take care!

hydrocodone is the generic for vicodin
