No, they are two different opiates, but in the brain when one has just took oxycodone/contin all opiates are transduced into morphine, so in other words the brain detects the opiate, but it doesn't see it as oxycodone, it see it as morphine. Morphine has better pain killing effects, and Oxycontin is the best recreational opiate available by far.
It has absolutely no Morphine it it at all.Oxymorphone(Opana, Numorphan, Numorphone) or 14-Hydroxydihydromorphinone is a powerful semi-synthetic opioid analgesic first developed in Germany in 1914, patented in the USA by Endo Pharmaceuticals in 1955 and introduced to the United States market in January 1959 and other countries around the same time. It (along with hydromorphone) was designed to have less incidence of side effects than morphine and heroin.
No. They are different drugs.
Short answer, no.
No, Oxycodone is a synthetic form of Morphine/Codeine base.
Not exactly. The narcotic in Percocet (oxycodone) is metabolized into morphine by the liver. Percocet contains no morphine.
Oxycodone
Morphine is obtained from the latex of opium poppy seed pods. The opiod oxycodone is synthesized from thebaine, another alkaloid found in opium. Oxycodone and morphine differ in their mode of metabolism. Unlike morphine, oxycodone is metabolized by enzymes in the liver that detoxify a number of prescription drugs. One benefit of oxycodone is that it has fewer side effects than morphine. The latter drug brings on a very strong feeling of pleasure and euphoria. There is pleasure after taking oxycodone, but fewer euphoric side effects than from taking morphine. This should cause oxycodone to be less addictive. Street availability is another difference between oxycodone and morphine. Since morphine is so rarely prescribed for home use, it is not commonly sold on the street. There are large numbers of prescriptions filled for oxycodone in the United States. The drug is available in a slow-release form called OxyContin® that is highly popular with recreational drug users.
YES, definitely. Because the tests test for Morphine. Oxycodone turns to morphine when metabolised, Avinza is just straight Morphine.
which is stronger - hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 - oxycodone/acetaminophen-5-325 or hydromorphone 4mg
No, both are analgesic.. but they're not "equivalent" in efficiency.. oxycodone, at the same dosage, is twice more powerful than morphine. 10 mg morphine = 5 mg oxycodone.
Orally, 10mg of oxycodone is considered equivalent to 15mg or morphine sulfate but everyone is different. Oxycodone isn't usually used medically by injection so a conversion is unavailable. 5mg morphine by injection is equal to about 15mg of oral morphine. 5mg morphine is probably about equal to 5mg oxycodone by injection. So orally, oxy. is stronger!
The drugs that most commonly cause constricted pupils or "Pinpoint" are strong opiods such as Heroin, morphine, oxycodone, or high doses of norco / vicodin.
No, morphine sulfate isn't the same as percocet.. which contains acetaminophen and oxycodone. At equivalent dosage and on a person who never took them before, oxycodone is 2 times more powerful than morphine.
Oxycodone is in the classification as a Opioid but does not come up as a Opiate on a drug test when it comes to a urine test. That is why there is a separate test panel for Opiates and Oxycodone. A Opiate test is morphine based testing for products containing morphine. Oxycodone has a similar structure to Morphine but is not Morphine thus the need for Oxycodone to have its own test panel. Morphine products include Codeine, Heroin, Dilaudid and Hydrocodone, Loratab, Vicodin and Lorcet. Oxycodone products are percocet, percodan, oxycontin , roxicodone and obviously oxycodone. The confusion comes in because oxycodone is a synthetic opiate, however, when it comes to opiates on a drug test it is morphine based.
Opium derivatives are substances synthesized from morphine, codeine, or thebaine, such as Heroin (from morphine) and Oxycodone (from thebaine).
