Mechanism of action

Motrin (ibuprofen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes to reduce inflammation and pain. Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) combines an opioid mu-receptor agonist with acetaminophen for moderate-to-severe pain. Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a potent mu-opioid receptor agonist used for severe breakthrough pain. Together, this multimodal approach targets pain through both inflammatory and opioid pathways.
