Hydrocodone
History
Hydrocodone was first synthesized in Germany in 1920 by Carl Mannich and Helene Löwenheim. Hydrocodone is derived from codeine. As a semi-synthetic opioid, it is most often used orally as a narcotic analgesic and antitussive. Used mostly in combination with Acetaminophen (Percoset) or Ibuprofen. If you have a drug with acetaminophen in it, we strongly recommend you cold water (CWI) extract the acetaminophen away. CWI methods can be found on google.
