Each VICOPROFEN tablet contains:
Hydrocodone Bitartrate, USP 7.5 mg
Ibuprofen, USP 200 mg

VICOPROFEN is supplied in a fixed combination tablet form for oral administration. VICOPROFEN combines the opioid analgesic agent, hydrocodone bitartrate, with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) agent, ibuprofen.

You could try the below link, I think you will find what you need.

Asprin
Vicoden (this also has muscle relaxer though)
Norcos (this also has muscle relaxer though)

Tylenol, Nuproxin, Asprin

I am not going to help you much. I am an ibuprofen user.
Ibuprofen offers alleviation from inflammation and muscle spasms. Users are cautioned to take it only once ever 6 hours.

There are other drugs, such as naproxen, which will do similar things, however their effects last 12 hours.

In my book, ibuprofen is *not* like naproxen because, if I have a reaction, for instance, if it suddenly makes me too sleepy (as it sometimes does), I know the effect will only last for a few more hours). Naproxen, on the other hand, lasts for 12 hours, so, if I have a reaction, I have to wait all day for the effects to go away.

In my book, that makes these two drugs different -- very different.
