How are you? <br/> <br/> This tablet is manufactured by Purdue Pharma and they list it as being a 40mg <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Hysingla-Er/" target="_blank">Hysingla ER</a> tablet, it is a time released formulation of <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Hydrocodone/" target="_blank">Hydrocodone</a>, so it lacks the <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Acetaminophen/" target="_blank">Acetaminophen</a> that <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Vicodin/" target="_blank">Vicodin</a> contains and is not immediately released. <br/> <br/> The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as <a href="https://rxchat.com/Categories/Nausea-Vomiting/" target="_blank">nausea</a>, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and <a href="https://rxchat.com/Categories/Laxative/" target="_blank">constipation</a>. <br/> <br/> Is there anything else I can help with?
