PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Hydrocodone is a morphinane-like compound that is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from codeine. It has a role as a mu-opioid receptor agonist, an opioid analgesic and an antitussive. It is an organic heteropentacyclic compound and a morphinane-like compound. It derives from a hydride of a morphinan.
