>If you opt to take a hydrocodone product long-term, you might want to see about using the versions that use Ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen; that is, try Vicoprofen instead of Vicodin. There's less risk for liver damage that way.
Liver damage does not occur when using normal therapeutic doses of acetaminophen on a long term basis; liver damage occurs after an overdose. Acetaminophen is an unusual drug because it is very safe at the recommended dose, but very dangerous in overdose. It is really quite unique.
Ibuprofen is often a more effective pain reliever than acetaminophen, especially for inflammatory or arthritic conditions. Unfortunately, ibuprofen can cause peptic ulceration and bleeding - which can be serious. Assuming that both medications are taken at recommended doses, acetaminophen is safer than ibuprofen.
