How close is the molecuar structure of hydrocodone and oxycodone?

The two are very close. Oxycodone differs in that is has a hydroxyl group at Carbon 14 (hydrogen/oxygen rather than just hydrogen), hence the name "Oxy" in Oxycodone.
Of the 2, Oxycodone is the more potent, being 15-20 times stronger than Codeine; Hydrocodone, by comparison, is only 6 times as strong.

Is oxycodone stronger than hydromorphone?
not even close..
Is oxycodone the same as vicodine?
Not even close. Oxycodone is a strong pain medication which is schedule #2 on the drug list, it is like synthetic heroin. This is given for SEVERE pain and is very addictive. Vicodin is hydrocodone and is a good med for moderate pain, but you cannot compare the two. Oxy is much stronger
Is oxycodone hydrorcloride stronger than hydromorphone?
not even close..
What is the difference between hydrocodone 10325 and Roxicodone 10325?
Lortab is Hydrocodone. Oxycodone is a bit stronger. 1 and a half times more strong is an average. The 2 meds are both partially synthetic opioids but they work a bit differently in the brain to provide pain relief They will show up differently in a urine test as well if the proper test that differentiates is used.
Does hydrocodone raise blood glucose levels?
I'm not a medical professional but when I was taking oxycodone, my blood glucose levels actually dropped. I would get lows in the middle of the night so I'd recommend being extra cautious. It is common that the stress on your body from an injury where you would need to take oxycodone would cause your glucose levels to rise, so you would want to pay extra close attension to your readings anyway. That's just my personal experience.
Will hydrocodone show up in a drug test?
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid found in brand name medications like Vicodin, Norco, Lortab, and Lorcet. Hydrocodone is always combined with another drug, typically acetaminophen which is found in the examples listed above. Hydrocodone is not an opiate and will not be detected on an opiate test. Opiates only refer to naturally occurring opiate alkaloids, primarily morphine and codeine. However heroin will also be detected in an opiate drug test because it turns into morphine. A specific test is required to detect semi-synthetic opioid's like hydrocodone and oxycodone or synthetic opioids like methadone or Demerol (pethidine). So if hydrocodone is tested for (and it is not routinely tested for) it will be positive for hydrocodone.

Will taking one oxycodone prove positive in urine screen?
It depends how long ago you took it, but if it is very close than yes it will come back positive.
