Dentist tell you to take ibuprofen naproxen together for a short duration it is supposed to give the same effect of Vicodin without the narcotic effect How can you say no when Doctors say yes?

Ibuprofen and Naproxen are the same thing, both an hormonal, anti inflammatory and are the same active drug but in a slightly different form Naproxen being moderately stronger. Vicodin has AP in it generally in the 320-750 range which is very similar to the active In Naproxen, but it has Hydrocodon which is the narcotic, which is an opiate and a strong one at that, this giving the "narcotic Affect". You will not have similar affects taking The two together any where near Vicodin, and i would be very careful with taking them together low dosages 500 Naproxen and 400-600 Ibuprofen is the max and defiantly not good for your stomach make sure you take food to reduce damage.


What is the difference between Vicodin and Vicodin ibuprofen?

Vicoden is an opiate, like heroin but at a lesser degree. It works by flooding the opioid receptors in your brain which causes a euphoric, pain free sensation. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by limiting the amount of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) your body produces, which relieves swelling and pain.

No, vicodin is tylenol and hydrocodone.. tylenol (acetaminophen) is excreted through the liver, not the kidneys. And opiods like hydrocodone are much better on the kidneys than NSAIDS like ibuprofen, advil, etc
