Hydrocodone is a semisynthetic opioid derived from codeine.18It is utilized as an analgesic and antitussive available for oral administration, often in combination with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. As a rule, potent analgesics containing a methoxyl group at position 3 (e.g., hydrocodone, K, = 19.8 nM) bind the mu receptor relatively weakly, but their O-demethylated metabolites (such as hydromorphone, Kt = 0.6 nM) bind more strangely. As with oxycodone, the possibility exists that some of their ability to relieve pain may actually derive from their active metabolites 48... 

Oxycodone is a codeine congener that appears to be 10 to 12 times more potent than codeine. When taken orally, oxycodone is as potent as parenteral morphine, and, like codeine, oxycodone retains most of its parenteral potency when given orally. When compared with codeine, morphine, or pentazocine, oxycodone may also have a lower incidence of side effects, but it produces euphoria and thus has potential for abuse. Oxycodone is commercially available in combination with acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen (see Table 7-7)... 

Many analgesic effectiveness studies involving combination drug formulations (an opioid combined with a nonopioid) have been reported. For example, in the treatment of moderate to severe postoperative obstetric or gynecologic pain, 2-tablet dose of hydrocodone 7.5 mg with ibuprofen 200 mg was comparable in efficacy to the 2-tablet dose of oxycodone 5 mg and acetaminophen 325 mg. Obviously both of these treatments were superior to the placebo [23]. In contrast, for treatment of chronic pain, the 2-tablet dose of hydrocodone 7.5 mg and ibuprofen 200 mg was more effective than either the 1 -tablet dose of this combination or the 2-tablet dose of codeine 30 mg and acetaminophen 300 mg combination [24]. In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 118 patients with chronic cancer pain, the combination formulation of hydrocodone (25 mg/d) and acetaminophen (2500 mg/d) was effective in relieving pain in 56.5% of the patients [25].
