Were you looking for information about Hydrocodone? Hydrocodome is a common misspelling of hydrocodone.

Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid (morphine-like) medication that is available by prescription. Although the drug is most often used for pain relief, it can also be used as a cough suppressant. It is believed to work by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Since the medication has a significant potential for psychological and physical dependence, you should talk to your healthcare provider before taking it if you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
