Best Answer

Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin with Tylenol. It is a narcotic analgesic that also contains acetaminophen. Strengths may vary, such as 2.5/500, 5/500, 7.5/500, etc, with the first number being the amount of Vicodin, and the second number being the amount of acetaminophen.

AN AMENDMENT! Hydrocodone is not the generic name for Vicodin. It is the name of one of the two active ingredients found in Vicodin which always consists of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is the generic name for Tylenol. Generic name for Vicodin is hydrocodone/acetaminophen.

Hydrocodone is an opioid analgetic. Acetaminophen is a milder pain reliever and fever reducer which increases analgetic effects of hydrocodone in Vicodin.

Hydrocodone is the chemical. Vicodin, norco, Percocet are brand names. Like Band-aid is a brand of bandages.
