Do Ibuprofen have codeine sulfur pencill?

Ibuprofen is an over the counter (OTC) pain medication. That means you can buy it without a prescription. Codeine is a prescription medication in the United States. In the prescription medication Vicoprofen, Ibuprofen is combined with hydrocodone, which is a synthetic codeine (the prescription medicine found in Vicoden). Sulfa and penicillin are another class of medication altogether and would not be combined with Ibuprofen. That's not to say you cannot take them together if your Doctor prescribes them.
