Vicodin is a popular pain reliever, derived from opium, which is a natural opiate. It works by mimicking the brain's natural painkillers, called endorphins. It alters an individual's reaction to pain, not by acting on the pain sight, but by reducing the brain's perception of pain.

Pain-management. Vicodin is, I believe, acetominiphin ("Tylenol") and hydrocodone. The hydrocodone is a controlled substance and can be addictive (or habituating).
