Best Answer

They are similar in that both are synthetic opioids.

However, OxyContin is a brand name containing the generic oxycodone. Hydrocodone is a generic name used with the brand names Vicodin or Lortab.

Hydrocodone is less powerful than oxycodone. Thus, OxyContin is more powerful than hydrocodone.

Is Vicodin an active drug in hydrocodone?

Hydrocodone and Vicodin are the same thing. Vicodin is namebrand, Hydrocodone is generic. Same thing with Percocet and Oxycodone.


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.


Are percoset and hydrocodone the same?

I believe you mean "Oxycodone" which is the generic name for Percocet or Tylox. My doctors know I am allergic to codeine; but subscribe Oxycodone, which has codeine, but so does percocet. I am waiting for pharmacist to call me know to let me know if it has the same amount. Percocet does not bother my stomach but Oxycodone does.


Is percocet same as hydrocodone?

No, percocet contains oxycodone (and laced with plenty of tylenol, of course) and not hydrocodone.


Is a roxie the same as a hydroconde?

Assuming you meant hydrocodone the answer is no. Roxy is oxycodone, ie. percocet, percodan, oxycontin. Hydrocodone, ie. Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, Norco. Oxycodone is a scedule 2 narcotic. Hydrocodone is a schedule 3. Oxycodone is more potent than Hydrocodone and is a "true opiate" because when metabolized it turns into morphine.

Does Ultram and Hydrocodone show the same in a drug screen or Oxycodone?

Not sure, i think so.


Is Oxycodone in the same family as Hydrocodone?

Yes and no. Both are narcotics for relieving pain. However, Oxycodone has a higher potency than Hydrocodone. Oxycodone is found in Hydrocodone, yet Hydrocodone is cut with acetominophen (tylenol) as well. Oxycodone alone is stronger than Hydrocodone, and in a perscription is generally a higher dose. for example, a usual perscription strength of hydrocodone is 7.5/650. this means that there is 7.5mg of oxycodone, and 650mg of acetominophen. Oxycodone perscriptions will have a single number, say 30mg. this means the tablet is simply 30mg of oxycodone. If you're a patient who needs the pills for pain relief, keep them locked up. If you're a recreational user, be careful and dont take your parents pills.


What mg of Oxycontin is comparable to 30 mg of codeine?

Hydrocodone and Oxycontin contain the same active drug... oxycodone. So 10mg of Hydrocodone and 10 mg of Oxycontin have the same amount of Oxycodone (10 mg) in them. The only difference is that the Hydrocodone contains Tylenol in addition to the Oxycodone. So on the Hydrocodone bottle it might say something like 10/500. So the Hyrocodone in that instance has 10 mg of oxycodone and 500mg of Tylenol.


Will hydrocodone and roxicodone test the same in urine?

no hydrocodone is a opiate =-=- roxiodone is oxycodone they will test on a higher drug panel as such usually 7 or higher
