A member asked:
Is vicoprofen (i'm taking the generic form which is called hydrocodone/ibuprof 7.5-200mg) a decongestant or does it make nasal congestion worse?

Not a decongestant: This is an opioid pain medication used for moderate to severe pain. There are some cough medications that have hydrocodone as a cough suppressant. Check with your doc who gave you the rx. You should not be using this medication without a rx.

It is a pain : Medicine not a decongestant. It shouldn't cause stuffy nose .Always ask prescribing physician why it is prescribed and what it is for and possible side effects most commonly seen.

Vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen): Not a decongestant but pain medication. I am sure u r taking it on as needed basis, but please consult your doctor for possible alternative meds.
