Against Medical Recommendations, FDA Approves Potent New Painkiller | Popular Science
Zohydro, an opiod painkiller that contains an unusually high dose of hydrocodone—up to 10 times more than Vicodin—has high potential for abuse
This is the first hydrocodone drug the FDA has approved that isn't diluted with another painkiller like acetaminophen, which can make opioid medications less addictive but also can cause liver damage. Oxycontin, which similarly contains the undiluted opioid oxycodone, has high rates of abuse and overdose.
