Ah, I at first requested Vicoprofen to avoid acetaminophen, but because it is
kidney toxic, it raised my blood pressure A LOT. I'm not sure that it isn't more
kidney toxic than acetaminophen is liver toxic. Maybe someone who is a
pharmacologist here knows. I switched to Vicodin, then Norco -- which has less
acetaminophen per amount of hydrocodone for the most benign effect.

understanding is there is a synergy between the two ingredients.  Together, they
give better pain relief than only one or the other.  I've avoided acetaminophen
for years.  It does nothing for me except make me feel slightly nauseated.
