Is hydromorphone stronger then tylox?

Hydromorphone(Diluadid) is a stronger narcotic pain reducer than Tylox(Oxycodone+Tylenol), however effecets will differ from one patient to another. Hydromorphone is 4 times stronger than a similar size dose of morphine, but is actually better at preventing serious pain than relieving it. The drug should be taken on a regular schedule, before your worst pain starts, at the same times every day. It is not a good drug for short term use. Tylox is a quick release percocet and is better at relieving serious pain in a short amount of time, but it will where off quicker and is very addictive.

Even for a pain reliever, Darvocet isn't very strong....seems to work well as a mild pain reliever for females though.
