Take one to two tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed do not exceed 8 tablets

No, both are analgesic.. but they're not "equivalent" in efficiency.. oxycodone, at the same dosage, is twice more powerful than morphine. 10 mg morphine = 5 mg oxycodone.
Oxycontin is the slow release of Endone. Oxycontin is usually given for its slow release capabilities meaning that over a 12 hour period. No matter what size dosage. But check with you G.P as they will tell you the exact dosage that they would like you to be taking as it is so addictive.
Sure. Oxycodone and Acetaminophin (Tylenol) is known as Percocet. Oxycodone is prescribe by itself in the normal dosage that is in Percocet: 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10mg tablets. Doctors usually prescribe the combination drugs like Percocet or Percodan (Oxy with Aspirin) because the combination of the two work better at reducing inflammation, which gives the Oxy a better chance to relieve pain.
The dosage is actually 10/325, and you're referring to Percocet. If not labled as such, it's likely labled as Oxycodone/Acetaminophen. It's a combination drug and the dosage numbers refer to the amount in milligrams of each drug in the pill. The first number (10) indicates the amount of Oxycodone in the pill - 10mg, which is the strongest dose currently available. The second number (325) is the amount of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the pill in milligrams. 325 is currently the lowest amount of Tylenol available with Percocet at that dosage level. I've personally been using Percocet 10/325 for over 9 years.
It is a Oxycodone 15 mg
For the same dosage pill, these drugs would be equivalent, as both contain oxycodone hydrochloride as their active ingredient.
Depending on dosage, but can be. If you are on this much at one time, get a new doctor.
No, morphine sulfate isn't the same as percocet.. which contains acetaminophen and oxycodone. At equivalent dosage and on a person who never took them before, oxycodone is 2 times more powerful than morphine.
That's a dangerous and possibly fatal overdose. A normal dose for adults is 5 to 15 mg once per four to six hours. If you or some you know have or has taken 325 mg of oxycodone call Emergency at once. If your are considering taking 65 oxycodone tablets now, please call the suicide counseling hotline in your area.
50 mg
the oxy 15 is stronger. the 650 you see is only acetaminophen which is only Tylenol. acetaminophen increases the effect of oxycodone so if you want just take a Tylenol with the oxycodone 15. However, depending on the pain, the one containing acetaminphen could be more beneficial for things having to do with nerves or inflamation.
