The strongest prescription painkiller is Vicodin. It is a narcotic analgesic product containing of hydrocodone and paracetamol. It is used to get relief from severe pain. Vicodin production is regulated by the Controlled Substances Act in 1970. Hydrocodone blocks the receptor in the brain. And acetaminophen reduces the fever. vicodin should be stored in room temperature between 15-30 degrees.

Some of the strongest painkillers available for oral administration include: Morphine, Demerol (meperidine), Dilaudid (hydromorphone), Levo-Dromoran (levorphanol tartrate), & Oxycontin (oxycodone). Percocet/Endocet (oxycodone-acetaminophen) is also a strong painkiller often prescribed for post-surgical pain. Vicodin/Lortab (hydrocodone-acetaminophen) is an effective painkiller but may not be strong enough for moderate to severe pain.
