These two drugs are similar, but NOT the same. Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin, Norco, Lortab and about 30 others. It is a narcotic analgesic, and not quite as strong as Oxycodone. It's also SLIGHTLY less regulated i.e. it can be CALLED IN to a pharmacy by a physician. It can be habit forming. Vicodin and the rest are a combo of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Oxycodone is also a narcotic analgesic, and also can be habit-forming. It can also be a combo of acetaminophen and oxycodone (generic) such as Percocet, Tylox, Roxilox. It is SLIGHTLY more regulated i.e. it CANNOT be called in to a pharmacy: you have to have a physical written prescription from a physician. Because of its potential for abuse and dependence, doctors tend to prescribe Vicodin rather than Percocet. Oxycodone can be prescribed as a single drug preparation ( minus the acetaminophen.)
Hydromorphone is a drug used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain and it is a narcotic analgesic for short term relief. Oxycodone is a drug similar but is designed to be used around-the-clock for long periods of time.
Hydrocodone is a pain killer that is used to treat minor / moderate pain and it no where as strong as oxycodone. Oxycodone is a very strong pain killer to people that have never taken it before , it is used to treat moderate / very severe pain depending on the MG. Oxycontin is the EXACT same thing as Oxycodone it's just CR- Controlled release , so you do not have to take so many pills depending on the MG the Oxycontin medication useally lasts up to 12 hours while Oxycodone lasts 4-8 hours , again depending on MG. Hydrocodone you can only take by mouth , you can snort if you chose to but would not recommend it because you the acetaminophen - Tylenol that is in it . OxycodoneIR can be administered multiple ways including , eating them , snorting them , smoking them , and injecting them and also putting them up your anus . Oxycontin you can not do anyone of those besides eating them due to the coating on the pill unless you can remove the coating somehow . It would be best to just eat the Oxycontin . I hope that answered all your question , i don't have anything left to say about them so that's about everything .
please tell me the chemical difference between hydrocodone and oxycodone
Oxycodone is an synthetic opioid used to manage pain. Oxycocet is another name for Percocet, which contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen.
Oxycodone is about 1.5x stronger than hydrocodone and is slightly more stimulating.
well first of all Oxycontin is way better of a drug, i mean this stuff iz good AZ hell. hydrocodone is just lame
No, Ratio-Oxycocet does not contain Codeine.Ratio-Oxycocet is comprised of acetaminophen and Oxycodone. Oxycodone is a synthetic opiate, separate from and unlike Codeine.
Yes. It contains oxycodone and acetaminophen.
The spelling.

Roxi typically refers to Roxicodone, a preparation of oxycodone. Oxi may refer to oxycodone in general, or more specifically Oxycontin, a continuous release form of oxycodone.
That's basically like asking what the difference is between beer and Budweiser. Oxycodone is the active pain-killing ingredient in the Percocet brand name drug.
Yes Oxycontin hydrochloride is a time released tablet and oxycodone ir is an instant release tablet.
Oxycodone is found in fast-acting opiates such as Percocet(which also contains tylenol), Roxicodone, and is also in Oxycontin. The only difference between oxycodone and Oxycontin is, Oxycontin is time-released. It distributes its oxycodone slowly over a period of 12 hours, as long as the pill is not cut up or smashed. The 'contin' in 'Oxycontin' stands for continuous.
Yes, It is also similar to hydrocodone, differing only in that it has a hydroxyl group at carbon-14.
Youre right oxycodone is stronger, the difference is on the "Class Schedule" hydrocodone is considered a C3 because it has less adictive potention then oxycodone which is a C2, the DEA classes drugs by there potential for Addiction, a C1 is a drug you are only able to receive while in the hospital.
Hydrocodone is (Vicodin)Oxycodone is (Roxicodone)The names in the parentheses is the brand name of the drugs.
