Vicodin is a prescription pain medication containing hydrocodone and acetaminophen, prescribed for moderate to severe pain when other treatments are insufficient. Because it carries risks of dependence, overdose, and liver injury, it should only be used under medical supervision. A licensed clinician evaluates your condition, determines appropriate dosage, and monitors side effects and interactions with other medicines or alcohol. Buying Vicodin without a valid prescription is unsafe and illegal. If you’re experiencing ongoing pain, speak with a healthcare professional about evidence-based options, including non-opioid therapies, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, to manage pain safely and effectively.
