As I understand it, acetominophen (Tylenol) is the problem ingredient in Vicodin -- it's hard on the liver at high doses. You can also get Vicoprophen (hydrocodone plus ibuprophen), but many doctors are less familiar with it. I think ibuprophen is considered safer, although I'm not sure what health risks it may have. There are also hydrocodone/aspirin mixes (e.g., Empirin), although the aspirin carries the risk of stomach bleeding with regular use.
