Vicodin (hydrocodone) and morphine are similar chemicals used for nearly the same purpose--relief of pain.

Hydrocodone is slightly less efficacious (strong) than morphine is, and is typically combined with acetaminophen. This mixture makes it more easier for a doctor to prescribe than morphine due to its scheduling by the DEA (C-III -vs- C-II). There are efforts to make ANY medication with hydrocodone in it C-II.

Is 5 mg of morphine sulfate oral suspension equal to a Vicodin 10 mg or a 5 mg?

5 mg of morphine sulfate oral suspension is not directly equivalent to either 10 mg or 5 mg of Vicodin (which contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen). Morphine is generally considered to be more potent than hydrocodone; therefore, the conversion is not linear. Typically, 10 mg of hydrocodone is roughly estimated to be equivalent to about 30 mg of oral morphine, meaning 5 mg of morphine would be less than 5 mg of hydrocodone. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate dosing and conversions.
