What is stonger oxycocdone or morphine sulfate?
Orally, 10mg of oxycodone is considered equivalent to 15mg or morphine sulfate but everyone is different.

So orally, oxy. is stronger!

Is dilatid like morphine?
I'll assume you mean "DILAUDID." Yes, both are mu-opioid agonists and work in a similar fashion. Typically, dilaudid (hydromorphone) is more efficacious (stronger) than morphine, but tends to last for shorter time. A patient that is in moderate pain may be given, for example: * 10mg Morphine Sulfate every 6 hours by I.M. injection * 2mg hydromorphine HCl, PRN (as needed) for breakthrough pain, by I.M. injection. In this instance, the doctors are using morphine to cover the pain in 6 hour blocks of time, while using the hydromorphone as needed for any pain that still remains.
