Hydrocodone and paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a combination opioid analgesic containing a semi-synthetic opioid (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid analgesic (paracetamol/acetaminophen). This combination is used for the relief of moderate to severe pain and is approved for clinical use in a number of countries, though increasing regulatory restrictions exist due to dependence and hepatotoxicity potential.
