Best Answer

Tylox is stronger than Vicodin and can not be called in over the phone by your physician. You have to present a paper prescription for this medication. It is actually Percocet with ex-strength Tylenol mixed in.

The 10's are stronger. Percocet contain oxycodone (a narcotic) and paracetamol (Tylenol). The smaller number (if you see 5/325 or similar) in the dosage is the amount of oxycodone, in milligrams. The larger number would be the amount of paracetamol in milligrams.

What is the difference between Vicodin ES 7.5 750 and percocet 5-325?

percocet is a little bit stronger than vicodin in terms of its sedating and painkilling effects. i had my wisdom teeth out a month ago and after a few days the vicodin the doctor prescribed me for pain gradually lost its effect. he then prescribed me percocet which felt stronger to me but like the vicodin it gradually lost its effect. your body tends to build high tolerances to these drugs if used consistently.


Which is stronger Percocet or Vicodin?

Percocet are much stronger then vics. They contain Oxycodone which is a more powerful drug.Vicodin and percocet are about the same,your body metabolises different from everyone elses. While Vicodin might work really well for me percocet might work better for you. I have a vitamin D defeciency and fybromyagia and have asked my doctor to put me on Hydrocodone 5/350 as the 5/500 I am on now are not working for the pain.


Is a percoset stronger than a Vicodin?

Percocet comes in strengths of 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg oxycocdone hydrochloride. Vicodin is 5mg hydrocodone. 5mg of oxycodone is the equivalent strength of 7.5mg of hydrocodone. Also, equivalent milligrams of oxycodone hydrochloride (Percocet) is slightly weaker than oxycodone (OxyContin). So, yes.

What is the street value of norco 5 325?

Norco is 5 mg hydrcodone with 325 mg acetaminophin or Tylenol, (NOT oxycodone with Tylenol, which is Percocet). Depending on where you live and how well you know the person selling the Norco, it could go for between $2 (unlikely) to $5 per pill. Usually dealers will sell pills for less if you buy in quantity. Just one more tidbit of info, the only difference between Norco 5 mg and Vicodin 5 mg is that Norco has less Tylenol in it than Vicodin. Vicodin has 500 mg Tylenol per pill.
