Hi sir/ma'am,
Vicodin contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen.5/300 indicates 5mg hydrocodone and 300mg acetaminophen. So your doctor, instead of mentioning the drug brand name, she wrote its composition, wherein both are one and the same. Hope my answer clears your doubt. Any further queries, please do write to us. I'm always here to attend your questions.
Thank you.
Take care
