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.
There are 2 active ingredients in Vicodin and Darvocet. Vicodin has Hydrocodone and acetaminophen in it. Darvocet has Propoxyphene and acetaminophen. Vicodin is a much stronger analgesic than Darvocet. Huge difference!
Darvocet is non addictive as it is not from the opium family like vicodin is.
Answer#1There is no difference.
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 Additionally, Darvocet has been largely withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns.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.
NO. Norco is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Darvocet is propoxyphene and acetaminophen. WARNING: Darvocet in overdose is highly toxic, many fatalities have resulted from such overdoses.
Hydrocodone is generally considered stronger than Darvocet for managing pain, including that from a toothache abscess. Darvocet, which contains propoxyphene, has been largely withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns and is less effective for moderate to severe pain compared to hydrocodone. For significant pain relief, hydrocodone is typically preferred under medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.
Tussionex does not have the antihistamine chlorpheniramine, but it does contain hydrocodone.
No, Lortab is the name of the Medicine and Hydrocodone is the ingredient.
Pentazo contains acetominophen
5/325mg has 5mg hydrocodone, and 325mg of acetaminophen. 7.5/750mg has 7.5 Hydrocodone, 750mg of acetaminophen
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.
