Forgive me for being a bit dense at the moment but I thought you can only get

hydrocodone either in combination with acetametophen or ibruprofen? I have

never seen it by itself. Most of us would not want it in combination with the

ibruprofen due to stomach issues and such.

As for the oxydodone, I believe you can only get the in combination with the

acetametophen or in the form of oxycontin. Please correct me if I am wrong

because I am very curious about this.

Thanks,

About hydrocodone (hydrocodone bitartrate, really), that's right. It's

available combined with some other ingredient such as ibuprofen or

aspirin.

Percocet = oxycodone hydrochloride + acetaminophen and Oxycontin =

oxycodone hydrochloride alone.

You can go here to the FDA site to see all of the available formulations:
