Absolutely not.

ibuprofen is the generic name for Motrin. You need a lot of it, and it takes too long to work. It's primary pain relief function is as an anti-inflammatory.

Vicodin (hydrocodone) is a Schedule III opiate analgesic, used for mild - moderate pain. Vicodin, like most opiate derivatives, work on the pain receptors to alter pain perception.

What can you expect if you're having an impacted lower wisdom tooth out tomorrow and the doctor prescribed vicodin?

You can expect short-term pain but in the long run, you will feel better with the tooth out! Vicodin is addictive. Do without it as much as you can. It also causes severe constipation. ~ T How you will react to Vicodin will be different than everyone else. Use it if you need it. With pain management it is best to control it before it gets too intense or it will be harder for the Vicodin to work. For me Vicodin takes most of the pain away but not all of it and puts me to sleep. your mileage will vary.


Is Dilaudid stronger than Vicodin?

Demerol is very strong but it is better used for short-term pain relief. Vicodin is supposed to be for long-term pain relief like every 6 hours or so. If you want instantaneous pain relief, go for Demerol. If you want Vicodin, it might take an hour or so to kick in, which really sucks sometimes


Is vicodin or Darvocet a more effective painkiller?

No. Vicodin is much stronger than Darvon. Both are narcotic pain relievers which require a prescription in order for you to obtain them legally. Darvon can be perscibed with another pain reliever like Tramadol in order to relieve pain. Their are similar effects from both because they are derivitives of an opiate-like substance which acts on centers in the brain that tell you how to perceive pain. If you are not use to taking Vicodin, Darvan would be a better option because it would not knock you out, rather, just puts you in a good mood and takes the edge off the pain. Vicodin knocks the pain out and definitley makes you a bit loopy. Some side effects of Vicodin can be nausea (if taken on an empty stomach), lightheadedness, tracers, etc. Vicodin is definitley for moderate to extreme pain and should not be taken if you have a history of drug addiction or drug seeking nature.

Which is stronger Darvocet or Vicodin?

vicodin... darvocet is like strong tylenol. vicodin contains hydrocodone as its active ingredient, making it a pain killer. darvocets active ingredient is naproxen which is a pain reliever.----Darvocet, while it may not be much more effective in pain relief as naproxen, is NOT the same thing. it is a synthetic opioid analgesic (propoxyphene) combined with acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is a very weak painkiller. Vicodin is a combination of the moderately strong opioid hydrocodone and acetaminophen. While Vicodin is much stronger and more effective at relieving pain than Darvocet, they are both narcotics.
