What does the HP in Vicodin HP stand for?

I don't need an lesson in vicodin and hydrocodone. I know all about it. I'm just curious as to what it stands for. I know ES is extra strength but i'm not sure about HP. Maybe high performance? Does anybody KNOW?

Update:

Sal*UK - it's HP not HB

and i asked what the initials HP stand for not what vicodin is made of

Update 2:

Tulla - actually

vicodin HP is 10mg hydrocodone with 660 mg of acetaminophin

vicodin ES is 7.5 mg hydrocodone with 750mg acetaminophin

vicodin is 5 mg hydrocodone with 500 mg acetaminophin.

    As the es stands for extra strength, the HP stands for high potency. Hope this helps.

    It is a trademark. It is written on the hydrocodone pill that is the 10mg strength of hydrocodone and 625 mg of acetaminophen. It doesn't mean anything really. The hydrocodone that is only 7.5 mg with 500 mg of acetaminophen has ES beside it. Hope that answers your question.
