NO. Both are opioid narcotics, but there are about 30+ opiate narcotics and they are all different in chemical composition. Oxycodone is just one of many narcotic pain killers known as opioids.
When used recreationally the high is very similar between oxycodone and heroin. alot of Oxycontin abusers switch to heroin because it is stronger and cheaper.
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is made chemically (usually from thebaine). Compared to morphine, it has a methyl group added to the 3 position oxygen (like codeine), it has a ketone group in the 6 position instead of a hydroxyl group, it lacks the double bond between carbons 7 and 8, and it has a hydroxy group attached to the 14 position.
Oxycodone is legal with a prescription in the U.S. and is used orally, its about 1.5 times stronger than morphine.
Heroin is chemically 3,6-Diacetylmorphine, it has Acetyl groups attached to 3 and 6 position oxygens. It is also semisynthetic and made from morphine. Heroin enters the brain more easily and rapildy than morphine where it is converted to morphine.
Heroin is illegal in the US and is used by many methods. By injection its about 2 times the strength of morphine.
Oxycodone is not the same substance as heroin, but they are similar. Heroin and oxycodone are both opiates; they therefore possess similar chemical structures. However, due to the minor differences in chemical composition, heroin is a more powerful analgesic (painkiller). Heroin also produces more euphoria and is more addictive.
