A member asked:

Does hydrocodone and ibuprofen, or hydrocodone and acetominophen, work more effectively?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It might: In general Ibuprofen is a little bit stronger pain medication. However with both it is important to carefully follow doctors instructions so as not to risk toxicity.
