Study Arms (2)

Opioid Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group includes subjects with renal stones who are consented for a ureteroscopy. They will be randomized to Norco 5milligram-325milligram Tablet for postoperative pain after ureteroscopy with stent placement.

Drug: Norco 5milligram-325milligram Tablet

Non-Opioid Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group includes subjects with renal stones who are consented for a ureteroscopy. They will be randomized to Ibuprofen 400 milligram for postoperative pain after ureteroscopy with stent placement.

Drug: Ibuprofen 400 MILLIGRAM in 1 TABLET ORAL TABLET, FILM COATED

Interventions

Designated coated 7 days supply of pain medication (Norco 5 milligram-325milligram Tablet) will be sent home with discharged subjects. Pain medication is administered/scheduled 4 times per day until the stent will be removed in clinic a week later.

Also known as: Opioid
Opioid Group

Designated coated 7 days supply of pain medication (Ibuprofen 400 milligram) will be sent home with discharged subjects. Pain medication is administered/scheduled 4 times a day as needed until the stent will be removed in clinic a week later.
