Acute use (1–3 days) yields a potency about 1.5× stronger than that of morphine and chronic use (7 days+) yields a potency about 2.5 to 5× that of morphine. Similarly, the effect of tramadol increases after consecutive dosing due to the accumulation of its active metabolite and an increase of the oral bioavailability in chronic use.
Allowing sufficient time between doses of ibuprofen and immediate-release (IR) aspirin can avoid this problem. The recommended elapsed time between a dose of ibuprofen and a dose of aspirin depends on which is taken first. It would be 30 minutes or more for ibuprofen taken after IR aspirin, and 8 hours or more for ibuprofen taken before IR aspirin.

Hydrocodone reaches peak serum levels after 1.3 hours. [30]
The two active components of the drug, ibuprofen and hydrocodone, do not affect each other's absorption characteristics or other pharmacokinetic parameters. [1] After an oral dose, the peak level of hydrocodone in the blood is reached 1.7 hours after administration. [1] The blood levels of ibuprofen peak 1.8 hours after oral administration. [1]
“Many individuals don’t pour an actual serving size (5 ounces for wine, 12 ounces for beer, 1.5 ounces for spirits), so when we say ‘a drink’ for many individuals, it could be 1.5 or 2 ...
