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.

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.

How close is tramadon and hydrocodone?

Tramadol and hydrocodone are both opioid medications used to manage pain, but they differ in their chemical structure and mechanisms of action. Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that also affects serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, while hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from codeine. Both can be effective for moderate to severe pain, but hydrocodone is generally considered stronger and carries a higher risk of dependence and side effects. It's important to use either medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional.


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.
