What is the generic name for Hysingla?

Hysingla ER is the brand name for an extended-release opioid formulation of hydrocodone (generic name: hydrocodone bitartrate, used for the ER product) [1].

What does “ER” mean on Hysingla?

The “ER” stands for extended-release, meaning the medication is designed to release hydrocodone slowly over time rather than all at once [1].

Common generic-name wording you may see

Because Hysingla is specifically formulated as hydrocodone ER, generic labeling often appears as hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablets/capsules, reflecting both the drug and the extended-release form [1].
