Hydrocone is one of the medications in vicodin.  Vicodin comes in 3 diffrent strengths  Vicodin is 5/500 meaning it has 5mg of hydrocone and 500mg of tylenol,

then there is extra strength vicodin ES 7.5/750 same formula increased, 7.5 mg of hydrocone and 750 mg tylenol, and last is Vicodin HP  10/660 10 mg of hydrocone and the dose of tylenol.  Hydrocone bitartrate is the name.
