Hydrocodone is part of the opioid drugs that have been in the news recently. It, like other opioid drugs, is highly addictive and is a pain medication that people get hooked on.

When you use hydrocodone, the drug can slow your breathing. Or even stop it. Health officials warn against taking it for any length of time than a doctor prescribes it. And, they say you should never take more of the drug that is prescribed. Again, they recommend against crushing or breaking open a capsule of hydrocodone.
