It would depend on the dosage and type of pill. A 60mg Oxycontin, two 30mg Roxicodones, or six 10mg Percocets all contain the same amount of oxycodone, but the Oxycontin get's absorbed at a slower rate. In theory they would be of equal strength but Oxycontin would twice as long.
Oxy what? Oxycodone? Oxycontin? Oxytocin? Oxybutynin? Oxymorphone? Be specific dear.
Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.
Based on my own personal experiences together with some of the reading I have done... Oxy is roughly twice as strong as Hydro. So with that said, 30mg of Oxy would roughly equal 60mg of hydro. Although 60mg of hydro seems to like quite a bit. Since hydro is always combined with APAP (whereas oxy can be in a pure form) and to be quite frank, although closely related and similar, they are two different drugs and have their own effects. Sometimes I prefer hydro over Oxy because of the euphoria it gives me. Where as Oxy gives me good euphoria but tends to lay me out more ... It really has a lot to do with the individual and their tolerance, their preferences... I hope this helps. Sorry I wrote so much.
the drug oxycotin is actualy oxycodone, the difference is oxycotin has a time realese coating on the outside, and oxycotin must be in 10 mg or more. so if it has a time realese coating on the outside and is in 10 mg or moor it is oxycotin if it dose not have both of these properties it is oxycodone. however the drug in both is oxycodone
10mg of methadone is equal to 80 mg of oxycontin
According to Nursing 2011 Drug Handbook, the answer to Percodan-325, the answer is no. Percodan is a compound of two different formulas for oxycodone to equal 4.88 mg of oxycodone (again two formulas) and 325 mg of aspirin. Percocet is a compound of oxycodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol) and is manufactured in varying strengths of both oxycodone and acetaminophen.
The mechanisms of action are so different, there is no answer to this question.

Oxycodone vs oxycodone with acetaminophine are essentially the same thing. The narcotic in both medications is the oxycodone, the only difference between the two is the addition of Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). The addition of Tylenol does not necessarily make the combo drug more powerful than the straight oxycodone, but is an adjunctive therapy so to speak. The Tylenol can enhance the pain relief of the oxycodone by working with the oxycodone at pain receptors. So to answer the question, no - oxycodone is not stronger than oxycodone acetaminophen combo.
equal to
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.
