All brand and generic Hydrocodone-based pain medication does contain APAP
Sorry, I don't want to be one of those jerks that goes around contradicting people just for the fun of it (I can think of a couple here off-hand), but in this case I think it's important. There is one non-APAP containing Hydrocodone medication (readily available at OP's, but a little expensive) called Vicoprofen (generic is usually refered to as hydroprofen) which is 7.5mg of Hydro and 200mg of ibuprofen. Some people think it's more effective for pain relief than 10/325 Norco. I would guess that could be attributed to the fact that some people's pain is caused by severe inflammation. Again, Ibuprofin causes problems in and of it's own, so it's important to weigh the risks vs. benefits. As far as APAP goes, every definitive source I have seen says that if you keep your intake under about 3.5 grams short-term and 2 grams long term, you should be fine, however you should be aware of the long term effects of APAP on liver. Usually, you only see hepatoxicity when massive amounts of APAP is taken, or if you combine it with alcohol (big no-no). Whatever you do, don't take my word on this.
Also, if you opt for Vicoprofen and the like, you should know the long-term effects of Ibuprofen. Off the top of my head, I think it causes stomach and kidney problems. Again, don't take my word for it. As far as you know, I'm just an idiot with a computer.
Hope this helped and I wish everyone here a pain-free existance.
J.
