Hydrocodone
addiction is caused by long term intake of
Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is an effective
antitussive (anti-cough) agent, and as an
opiate it is also an effective analgesic
for mild to moderate pain control. 5 mg of
Hydrocodone is equal to 30 mg of codeine
when administered orally. Early comparisons
concluded that hydrocodone and morphine were
equipotent for pain control in humans. However,
it is now considered that a dose of 15 mg
(1/4 gr) of hydrocodone is equivalent to
10 mg (1/6 gr) of morphine. Hydrocodone is
considered to be morphine-like in all respects.
Sales
