Isn’t there some evidence ibuprofen is a better pain med than codeine?

NSAIDs may impair bone healing although the data in humans is mixed. Codeine in general is a terrible pain medication. Many people don’t metabolize it.

At least he wasn't prescribed Tramacet.

I suggest that T3s are not worthless, but it's a bad drug because we don't know how much any given patient expresses CYP 450 2D6.

Not worthless, just over prescribed when OTC like Ibuprofen or acetaminophen would work just as well. Acetaminophen and codeine combo works well for some acute pain, but not everyone metabolizes codeine well. It makes me feel weird and nauseous.

No, the acetaminophen is useful and if he’s a fast metaboliser, the morphine will work. Otherwise, not so much.
