Hydrocodone is an opiate (meaning it's a derivative of opium), I believe. Darvocet is an Opiod, which means it's synthetic and made to chemically mimic the effects (especially painkilling properties) of other opiates. To my knowledge, Hydrocodone is more potent than Darvocet and is a schedule 3 controlled substance-Darvocet is schedule 4. The smaller the number, the higher the abuse potential. Hope that helped.

Which is stronger 5mg Hydrocodone or 100 mg Darvocet?

Hydrocodone is generally considered stronger than propoxyphene, the active ingredient in Darvocet. A typical dose of 5 mg of hydrocodone is more potent in terms of pain relief compared to 100 mg of Darvocet. Additionally, Darvocet has been largely withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns. Therefore, in terms of effectiveness, 5 mg of hydrocodone is stronger than 100 mg of Darvocet.

Are Darvocet equal to Lortab?

No. Hydrocodone (the narcotic contained in Lortab) is about 10-15 times stronger than Darvocet, technically. However the analgesia and euphoria associated with hydrocodone is much greater than that associated with Darvocet. (Most would agreee that the two aren't even comparable). Also, Darvocet has a more narrow therapeutic range, making it more dangerous in high amounts. Likewise, most hydrocodone containing medications (Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin) also contain high amounts of acetaminophen, which can be harmful to the liver, especially in patients with liver failure.
