商品名：Hycodan
Opioid agonist, analgesic. Like other opioids, hydrocodone is an agonist for mu-opiate and kappa-opiate receptors on nerves and inhibits release of neurotransmitters involved with transmission of pain stimuli (such as Substance P). It has similar properties as morphine, but potency may vary. Central sedative and euphoric effects related to mu-receptor effects in brain. Other opiates used in animals include hydromorphone, codeine, oxymorphone, meperidine, and fentanyl. Hycodan contains homatropine, which is added to decrease abuse by people. Hydrocodone formulations used for antitussive action may also contain guaifenesin or acetaminophen. Hydrocodone may be metabolized to hydromorphone and in some animals (e.g., dogs) the pharmacologic effects may be attributed to hydromorphone.
Hydrocodone is an opiate agonist that has analgesic and sedative properties. However, its use as a sedative or analgesic in small animals is uncommon. The oral Hydrocodone Bitartrate 367 H absorption, metabolism, and efficacy have not been studied in animals sufficiently to predict or assess clinical use. However, hydrocodone has been used in animals as an antitussive for symptomatic treatment of airway diseases and many clinicians believe (anecdotally) that it is an effective antitussive. There are no preparations marketed for use in the US that do not contain atropine. (Canadian preparations may contain only hydrocodone.) It may also contain other ingredients for treating cough.
