Which is stronger hydrocodone or hydrocodone bitrate?

When "hydrocodone" is in a medication, it is most often in the form of hydrocodone bitartrate-- it is just usually referred to as simply "hydrocodone", so they are the same thing. Much like morphine sulfate is generally just referred to as "morphine" and codeine phosphate as "codeine"... they are the most common forms (salts) of each narcotic painkiller.


Does hydroco have codeine?

if by hydroco you mean hydrocodone, then yes and no. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is made FROM codeine. Hydrocodone does not metabolize into codeine frome what ive read. If you are allergic to codeine then you will probably be allergic to hydrocodone too. If youre trying to pass a UA then you should be ok as most urine tests that test for opiates only test for morphine and codeine; neither of which are metabolites of hydrocodone. If you're looking to treat pain, then keep in mind that hydrocodone is stronger than codeine.
