Hydrocodone is available only in combination with other ingredients, and different combination products are prescribed for different uses. Some hydrocodone products are used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Other hydrocodone products are used to relieve cough. Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and in a class of medications called antitussives. Hydrocodone relieves pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Hydrocodone relieves cough by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing.
Hydrocodone that is made with acetaminophen, such as Vicodin, can cause liver damage if taken in high doses or for a long period of time. Hydrocodone on it's own can affect kidney function, in that you may experience difficulty urinating. It is my understanding that this side effect could get worse if one does not eventually stop using the drug or by taking too much of it at once.
Aside from the liver and kidney problems, long term use may pose even greater risk to other normal bodily functions that work in conjunction with the kidney and liver.
