Opioids are drugs that work in the body the way opium does. Some are made directly from opium (for example, morphine, and codeine), while others are man-made but similar chemically to opium (for example, the painkillers oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl, better known by such brand names as OxyContin®, Vicodin®, Percocet® and Actiq®*). The illegal drug heroin is also an opioid.
