Is oxycodone a derivative of codeine?

Oxycodone is a synthetic form of codeine, an opiod analgesic (pain reliever). This means it was created in a lab, and although oxycodone's chemical name is derived from codeine and the chemical structures are very similar, they are a little different in that they act on different receptors in the body. One may produce fewer adverse reactions than the other, depending on the person, but degree of pain relief is similar. Oxycodone is often mixed with acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, giving it the potential to cause liver damage in those who are susceptible, or when consumed with alcohol.

Is Oxycodone in the same family as Hydrocodone?

Yes and no. Both are narcotics for relieving pain. However, Oxycodone has a higher potency than Hydrocodone. Oxycodone is found in Hydrocodone, yet Hydrocodone is cut with acetominophen (tylenol) as well. Oxycodone alone is stronger than Hydrocodone, and in a perscription is generally a higher dose. for example, a usual perscription strength of hydrocodone is 7.5/650. this means that there is 7.5mg of oxycodone, and 650mg of acetominophen. Oxycodone perscriptions will have a single number, say 30mg. this means the tablet is simply 30mg of oxycodone. If you're a patient who needs the pills for pain relief, keep them locked up. If you're a recreational user, be careful and dont take your parents pills.
