zeuzjuz, I'm with you in the vent department and sorry this is off on a tangent from answering what ultracet is. I broke my elbow and several ribs and I was sent home with perocet until I saw the surgeon and after surgery I was given hydro's. Broken ribs take weeks to get over and it is painful and hurts to even breath! Sometimes I wonder why there are even pain meds out there if they aren't going to use them!
