Hycet elixir contains which of the following?

Elixirs are hydroalcoholic solutions used for oral dosing, so the solvent is alcohol. Hycet elixir uses alcohol to dissolve its active ingredients, acetaminophen and hydrocodone, making the presence of alcohol the defining feature. That’s why the statement about containing alcohol is the correct one. The other options don’t reflect Hycet’s formulation: it does not contain ibuprofen, and while many elixirs are sweetened, they are not typically sugar-free, and the caffeine content isn’t the distinguishing factor here.
