Vicodin^® (hydrocodone/APAP) is commonly used to treat short-term pain caused by an injury or medical procedure. It can also be used to treat chronic pain, migraines, and other types of recurring, long-term conditions that cause pain. Vicodin is a commonly abused drug, which is why there are special laws and regulations controlling its sale and use.
