Hi cole,

Pentazocine isn't exactly like Hydrocodone because it is a different medication with a different formula. However, it's a narcotic like Hydrocodone.

Specifically, pentazocine is a synthetically prepared prototypical mixed agonist–antagonist narcotic (opioid analgesic) drug of the benzomorphan class of opioids used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Pentazocine is sold under several brand names, such as Fortral, Talwin NX (with the μ-antagonist naloxone, will cause withdrawal in opioid dependent persons on injection), Talwin, Talwin PX (without naloxone), Fortwin (Lactate injectable form) and Talacen (with acetaminophen).

Administration: Pentazocine is administered by subcutaneous (rarely), intramuscular, and intravenous injection as the lactate. It is also available in (50 mg) tablets with naloxone added.

Adverse effects: Side effects are similar to those of morphine, but pentazocine may be more likely to cause hallucinations and other psychotomimetic effects; cardiovascular effects make it unsuitable for use in myocardial infarction. Unlike morphine, its respiratory depressant action is subject to a "ceiling" effect. 30 milligrams of pentazocine has the same pain relieving capacity as 10 milligrams of morphine.

I hope this information helps!
