Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen, University of Iowa, College of Nursing:"Hydrocodone is similar to codeine in its action, working on the central nervous system and smooth muscle. It is believed to relate to opiate receptors in the central nervous system. Acetaminophen works in the periphery as an analgesic but also has antipyretic effects. It is absorbed rapidly in the GI tract and is distributed to most tissue areas in the body. Acetaminophen inhibits the production of prostaglandin which then may cause irritation to the stomach."
