Yes, some hydrocodone is turned into a small amount of hydromorphone by the liver. Just like codiene is turned into morphine by the liver enzymes.

What is the difference between hydrocodone and hydromorphone?

Hydrocodone is Vicodin with Tylenol. Hydromorphone (aka Dilaudid) is straight Hydromorphone. No Tylenol or any other OTC meds mixed in. Obviously, Hydromorphone is much stronger. It is said that it is stronger than Oxycontin.

Why would hydrocodone come back as hydro morphine?

Does hydrocodone metabolize to hydromorphine? No. Hydrocodone is metabolized to hydromorphone, norhydromorphone, norhydrocodone, dihydromorphine, nordihydromorphine, dihydrocodeine, and nordihydrocodeine. If you meant hydromorphine then yes. I believe it is possible for as much as 30% of hydrocodone to be metabolized to hydromorphone, but usually is much less.


What is the difference between Dilaudid and norco?

ones hydromorphone and one is codeine based Actually neither is codeine based. Norco is hydrocodone and tylenol. It is the same as lortab or vicodin only with less tylenol. Hydrocodone is metabolized or broken down in the body into hydromorphone metabolites.

What is difference in Hydrocodone and Hydromorphon?

Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is much more potent than hydrocodone (Vicodin). Potency wise, hydromorphone is roughly 7-8 times stronger than hydrocodone when administered IV, and almost as much stronger when taken orally. Hydromorphone comes in short acting preparations (Dilaudid) only. For a brief time there was a long acting preparation on the market that was pulled back when it was learned that, when taken with alcohol, the long-acting mechanism broke down causing all the med to be released into the bloodstream at once. In some cases the results were fatal.


Does Hydrocodone and some show the same in drug test?

I'm not too sure I understand your question but I'll try to answer it to the best of my ability. if you take Hydrocodone or vicodin whatever on your drug test it will show Hydrocodone and a number say 100 and positive also for Hydromorphone but it will be a much smaller number say 10 same with Oxycodone and Oxymorphone and Codiene and Morphine This is because the liver enzimes convert some but not all Hydrocodone to Hydromorphone which is a much stronger chemical Oxycodone is converted to Oxymorphone and Codiene is converted to Morphine. Hope this helps somewhat.
