What is an "inelegant" drug? I can't say I have ever heard that term before

It is a matter of personal preference and works for you. What works for you may or may not work for someone else.

Hydrocodone is a lot more powerful than codiene. On on arbitrary, relative scale, if Hydrocodone was a 6, codiene would be a 2 or 3.

The 300 is the amount of aspirin and the 30 is the amount of hydrocodone.
Its like taking a shot compared to a mixed drink. If you take the straight shot then it will be in a smaller does. If you take a mix drink its more alcohol when mixed.
The body handles the higher dose of hydrocodone better when its mixed with Tylenol or Ibuprofen then it would if you just took it straight.

Codeine is an older medication; the hydrocodones are newer. They tend to be 'smoother' and don't give you a groggy feeling the way codeine can. However, they should work just as well for pain. Personally, I'd stay away from codeine. It's what pharmacists call an 'inelegant' drug.

No, no longer legally. until you propose OTC painkillers like aspirin, paracetemol or cocodamol, which I presume you do no longer. identifying to purchase online drugs from dodgy components is risky - you on no account recognize in the event that they have the full pharmaceutical performance they are defined as having, no remember if or no longer they are greater useful than they'd desire to be, no remember if or no longer they have been legitimately produced, or what different aspects they have been shrink with. in the adventure that your soreness is amazingly severe, flow returned on your established practitioner and tell him so. He would prescribe further or acompanying soreness medicine if he thinks this is appropriate and needed.

codeine is a different active ingredient, like the difference between aspirin and tylenol and aleve. They work for different people differently as a caution, any of the opiates are strong and addictive.
