Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (level of pain control) and safety of the administration of Extended-Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen compared to placebo over a 48 hour dosing period in patients who have had bunionectomy surgery and to assess the safety of the drug for 7 days after patients are discharged from the hospital.
