I'm not sure about that tablet specifically, but a vicodine is supposed to be a hydrocodone, a type of pain reliever.

I don't believe they do but if they did it would look like 2 500mg pills in the palm of you hand!\n\nI looked everywhere I could think of this evening. I couldn't find anything matching the description you gave. But one thing I'm almost sure of is that it is not Vicodin...

Depends on the type of stones you have, there are 4 major types of kidney stones. Chances are however that NO the pain reliever will not make it worse. Vicodin works very well for pain from kidney stones. If you need something that isn't prescription I suggest Azo Standard or UriStat (both are pyridium drugs and specifically for urinary tract pain).

Vicodin stays in your system for approximately 5 days.

No.  The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is increased.  However, nothing in medicine is absolute.  In specific cases, your doctor may recommend this combination, alternatively, he or she may change you to another NSAID.  It is always best to get an answer specific to you from your doc.

Yes, it is one of a class of drugs defined as a non-specific COX enzyme inhibitor.  These drugs are both analgesics and anti-inflammatories, because COX enzymes are involved in both processes.  Tylenol is also a non-specific COX inhibitor, but is not an anti-inflammatory because it is deactivated in non-neutral pH conditions, and these conditions exist in inflammed areas.

i had dry socket when they had to impact my wisdom teeth... the reason i knew i had it was b/c the drugs they gave me stopped working... i was still in so much pain even though i was taking vicodin... then i ran out of that and was literally having to take 800mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours... it's best to go back and have them thoroughly clean your sockets... for me they put oil of clove strips in the sockets so i wouldn't feel the pain while they healed...

Pain relievers are tricky meds.  Voixx was a cox-2 inhibitor, and pulled from the market, as you know, but Celebrex is still available.  Cox-2 enzyme is necessary for cardiac health, so eliminate Celebrex as a consideration.  Additonally, we are learning that Motrin (Ibuprofin) is also not really great when it comes to the heart muscle, and doctors are getting literature now that suggests it too is detrimental.  Aleve seems to be clear of any really serious side effects except that as all of the nsaid's it is bothersome to stomach.  You could try that one, if you have not already done so.  Available generic, and otc.\n\nYou may find a combination of tylenol/darvon helpful -- it's call darvocet, script only.  In the amounts generally prescribed, it is not toxic to the liver, but tylenol in huge amounts, esp with alcohol will indeed "melt" you liver.  So, if you try Darvocet, limit your alcohol intake.\n\nChronic pain is tough to deal with.  There are some new modalities available -- one is a pain delivery system to the site itself.  You'll need to see a guy who specialized in pain management, and pain management alone.  The best  oral pain relievers are those that are morphine based.  They do indeed make one a little dopey in the beginning, but one can usually push thru that, and be pretty pain free, and still alert.  The side effect, of course is constipation.

Acetaminophen(Tylenol, Tempra or Panadol) is a medication that has a long and favorable track record and is considered to be appropriate for use in children for fever and/or pain control.Available in liquid, drop or pill form, acetaminophen is given every four to six hours, as needed. Acetaminophen is also available in suppository form which can be helpful when a child needs to take fever medication but is throwing up, with a "gastro" or stomach flu, for example. Although acetaminophen is considered safe when used as recommended, taking it regularly, for more that a week at a time can be dangerous. Over dosage of acetaminophen can result in liver damage. So it is important to follow the dosage based on a child's age or weight and not to give it regularly for more than 4 or 5 days \n\nIbuprofen(Advil, Motrin) is a newer fever medication which has not been around as long as acetaminophen. Most experts agree that ibuprofen is a relatively safe and very effective medication, but still recommend acetaminophen as a first line fever medication given its longer track record. \n\ncall your doctor about your child's fever \nWorrisome or alarm signs needing immediate medical attention include:\nthe fever is higher than 39.5º C(103ºF)rectal or the child appears unwell or unusually ill(this applies even when there is no fever) or persistent fever(more than 3-4 days) or the child is less than 6 months of age \n\n\nAs a child, to ease your upset stomach, your mother probably served you ginger ale, Sprite or 7-up. carbonated sodas buffer the stomach and reduce nausea.

Actually - it's good to alternate between heat and cold.\nAnd as far as taking an anti-inflammatory, Tylenol is not one - that would be Advil (Ibuprofen)

For one thing? What in the world would you want to snort Vicodin for? It would probably make your nose bleed.You know it is just as effective swallowing the pill.Maybe you have a problem with drug addiction and need to seek help.
