No. You are thinking about NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen. Codeine is opiate and therefore, unlike NSAIDs, has quite a high potential for addiction. Codeine does however give pain relief like NSAIDs

No, Vicodin is not an NSAID. Vicodin contains hydrocodone, which is a narcotic, and acetaminophen (the main ingredient in Tylenol, also known as paracetamol), which is an analgesic (pain-killer) but not an NSAID.

Because Vicodin contains hydrocodone, it is available only by prescription. Because it contains acetaminophen, it should never be taken together with other medications containing acetaminophen (such as Tylenol).

No it is not. Vicodin contains Tylenol and hydrocodone. Neither of these is an anti-inflammatory.
