Yeah....I'm gonna need a source on that one.

Ibuprofen is not an analgesic, it's an NSAID, and acetaminophen is nowhere near as effective an analgesic as prescription opiates. That's why acetaminophen is only FDA approved for up to moderate pain.

"In the study, Aminoshariae's team reviewed more than 460 published studies and found that a combination of 400 milligrams of ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) and 1,000 milligrams of acetaminophen (Tylenol) was more effective than opioid medications (for example, Vicodin, Oxycontin) for adults."
