Hydrocodone is included in the class of opioid analgesics. These include morphine and heroin and are narcotics. These are extremely effective for pain control; but, produce all of the side effects of narcotics. These are nausea, constipation and difficulty mentating. Long term use can be addicting. I would get in the habit of inquiring of your physician about a drug prior to leaving his/her office. Remember, they work for you. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page.
