Assuming that the tablet stregths are the same...there's nothing really different between the 2. They both contain the exact same drug (hydrocodone), they are just manufactured by 2 difference company, making them look a little different (shape/size/color/etc.

Occasionally the binders & fillers (zero actual medicine) are a little different, but that shouldn't have any major effects seen by the patient.
None. They are brand names.

They are the same drug. There may be a difference in the amount of hydrocodone or acetaminophen depending on the strength prescribed.

Lortab and Vicodin are both forms of hydrocodone. Oxycontin is the controlled-release form of oxycodone. Oxycodone is stronger than hydrocodone.


Is Lortab the same as hydrocodone?

well lortab is hydrocodone but if ur referring to vicodin nah...lortab is just stronger but its equally as addictive..you just get addicted faster then u would if u took smaller dosages hydrocodone, vicodin, & lortab are ALL THE SAME DRUG...none being stronger than the other. however, they can be ordered in different strengths. it is the strength (dosage) that can cause a more rapid rate of addiction.


What is stronger Lortab Oxycontin or vicodin?

Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc. So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.


Which is stronger Darvocet vs vicodin?

Lortab is stronger Darvocet A500 only contains 100 mg of proxyphene which is prescribed for mild to moderate pain,while hydrocodone at any dose is stronger and prescribed for moderate to severe pain.As along time suffer of degenerative arthritis I am familiar and well read on any painkiller out there.i have chosen to take Darvocet because the withdrawals are no where near as bad as Lortab and darvocet A500 contains less Tylenol which is easier on your liver and allows you to supplement with otc painkillers.If you asked this question because your doctor had been prescribing Lortab and changed you to Darvocet take his advice and take the darvocet ,cause the likelihood you need anything stronger is slim and you are probably subconciously wanting to get high and you are treading on dangerous ground.


What is the higher dosage 7.5 750 or 7.5 500?

Most likely the medications are Vicodin ES (7.5/750) and Lortab (7.5/500). The first number (7.5) indicates the dose of hydrocodone, an opioid narcotic, the second number (750 or 500) is the dose of acetaminophen, often written 'APAP'. 7.5/750 is a higher dose than 7.5/500, however it is unlikely that the Vicodin ES would be any more effective than the Lortab since the dose of hydrocodone, which provides the vast majority of the analgesia, is the same. Some evidence actually suggests that having no acetaminophen would be more effective. The maximum single dose of acetaminophen is 1,000 mg every 4-6hrs (maximum 4,000 mg/day) so both medications are under that.

Is tramadol the same as a Vicodin?

Hydrocodone contain in loracet is much more powerful than tramadol, but tramadol if taken it high doses, 250 or 300 mg can cause quite a high..almost equal to maybe 2 lorcets or tabs...i recommend hydrocodone because its easy on the digestive system.


What does hydrocone show up asOn drug screen?

What is stronger 7.5 hydrocodone or 5mg hydrocodone bitartrate?

They're both hydrocodone bitartrate (almost all of the time, when found in pills such as Lortab and Vicodin)- so 7.5mg is stronger than 5mg.


Which is stronger Darvocet or Vicodin?

vicodin... darvocet is like strong tylenol. vicodin contains hydrocodone as its active ingredient, making it a pain killer. darvocets active ingredient is naproxen which is a pain reliever.----Darvocet, while it may not be much more effective in pain relief as naproxen, is NOT the same thing. it is a synthetic opioid analgesic (propoxyphene) combined with acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is a very weak painkiller. Vicodin is a combination of the moderately strong opioid hydrocodone and acetaminophen. While Vicodin is much stronger and more effective at relieving pain than Darvocet, they are both narcotics.


Street price Vicodin?

lortab 10/500 (mostly blue Watson 540s, or pink watsons) generally sell on the street for $3 a pill. lortab 7.5/500 or 5/500, i wouldn't pay any more than $2 for the 7.5/500, or more than a $1 for the 5/500.


What is the definition of Lortab?

lortab is very similar to vicodin, just the dosing of Tylenol to hydrocodone is different. hydrocodone is a codeine derivative usually used for pain. this drug is a middle of the road, in strength, it is much much stronger than anything over the counter but not as strong as a percocet or a Oxycontin type. however it is still addictive.
