hydrocodone is not codeine

I take Hydrocodone (Vicodin) for my low back pain (opate)

Codeine would be found in things like Tylenol 3.

An alternative would be percocet or percadan, which is oxycodone (opate)

So are you allergic to codein AND opate's?

PS: profen is the ibuprophen in the opate...it's usally a mix like 5/500. The bigger the pill, the more ibuprophne in the pill.....which is an anti-inflammatory...which also helps stop the pain, but is not the 'pain killer'....
