The below answer is correct; they are the same. However to answer your question, there are quite a few narcotic pain relievers, some work better for some people and others work better for other people. But Dilaudid (hydromorphone), Opana (Oxymorphone) and Fentanyl are some of the strongest. Although Fentanyl is only available in a transdermal patch or a "lolly pop" type preparation which you let disolve in your mouth. These two drugs contain the same ingredients. The difference is that oxycodone is fast acting, peaks within several hours, and wans in about 4 hours. Oxycontin is a sustained release tablet that continues to work for 12 hours.
Oxycontin is used in patients with chronic pain to reduce the need to take tablets every 4-6 hours. It takes longer to build up in the system and does not work as quickly as oxycodone.

Percoset (oxycodone) is stronger than lorcet (hydrocodone) so you need to convince him that you need stronger medication.

Is oxycodone stronger than Darvocet?
Oxycodone vs oxycodone with acetaminophine are essentially the same thing. The narcotic in both medications is the oxycodone, the only difference between the two is the addition of Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). The addition of Tylenol does not necessarily make the combo drug more powerful than the straight oxycodone, but is an adjunctive therapy so to speak. The Tylenol can enhance the pain relief of the oxycodone by working with the oxycodone at pain receptors. So to answer the question, no - oxycodone is not stronger than oxycodone acetaminophen combo.
What are the benefits of oxycodone rather than hydrocodone?
The only difference is the potency of the drug - Oxycodone is a stronger opiate than Hydrocodone is. For a pain patient, the decision to move to a stronger drug is usually based on the lower strength drug not being able to do the job in current doses, or if the patient has to take more to deal with the pain. Fewer doses of a drug to deal with a problem is always more preferable to having increase the dose of one that isn't working as well.
