Hydro has a specific ratio of APAP or other substance to make the codeine:APAP ratio within Schedule 3 limits. Due to the higher non-opiate component it is not subject to the same regulations as a Schedule 2 medication. One prescription for hydro can have refills on the same script and is the script is valid up to 6 months.
On the other hand a Schedule 2 med which has a much higher concentration of opiates without other substances is governed by different regulations. The script from the doc must be filled out in triplicate, filled within 7 days of the date on the script and cannot be refilled without another prescription from the doctor.
Therefore, by filtering out the APAP, aspirin, or ibuprofen, a prescribed Schedule 3 medication is being converted to a Schedule 2 without the restrictions. That is where the illegality comes in.
Hope this helps.
