Zeaxanthin Overview
Zeaxanthin is a type of carotenoid, a natural pigment found in plants and fruits, particularly in leafy greens and colorful vegetables. It is known for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting eye health by protecting against harmful light-induced damage. Zeaxanthin is often used in dietary supplements targeted at promoting optimal vision and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
Benzhydrocodone, Acetaminophen Overview
-
The combination of benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen is used to relieve acute pain (pain that begins suddenly, has a specific cause, and is expected to go away when the cause of the pain is healed) that cannot be relieved by other non-opioid pain medications. Benzhydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Acetaminophen is in a class of medications called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). When acetaminophen is used in combination with benzhydrocodone to treat pain, it works by changing the way the body senses pain.
