If the total dosage is the same then there should be no noticeable difference. However, the lower dosage tablets may be a faster-releasing dose than the higher, so taking all at once could shock your system and bring about unwanted side-effects. If in doubt, always follow the label's instructions and never mix drugs or dosages without advice from a doctor regarding their interactions.
Very good answer, except that, in my experience a druggest usually knows more about drugs than the average physician. Most drug stores can answer these questions.

Lortab is a 2 ingredient product, 5mg hydrocodone + 500mg acetaminophen (Tylenol) versus 10mg hydrocodone with 500mg acetaminophen. So taking 2 of the 5mg Lortabs you get 1000mg of Tylenol versus just 500mg when you take a Lortab 10.

How much paracetamal and ibrofen can you take at once?
You can take paracetamol four times a day, and ibuprofen 3 times. So you could take 1000mg of paracetamol (2 tablets, if you're over 12) with breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, and 400mg of ibuprofen (if over 12) mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening, for a painkilling regime where you get to take something every couple of hours. If you were having to do this all day every day, you should be visiting your GP for optimal help with your symptoms. You can take the tablets together, if you had a headache you could take two paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen together, or 500mg of paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen - always better to start with the smaller dose and see if it works for you before going in with the maximum! But you still need to remain within the daily limits described.
