Does oxycodone and vicadens show up the same?

Answer 1

Simplistically, 7.5 mg Hydrocodone should provide equal pain relief to 5mg Oxycodone but one must also consider whether there are other drugs such as aspirin or acetominophen included as these increase the pain relief provided by both these agents.

Having said this, one also must consider that all drugs work slightly differently on different people and linear equations such as "this much of A equals that much of B" is only a comment that refers to the majority effect in a Bell curve.

Answer 2

OxyContin is a different formulation of the sub compound oxycodone. Oxycodone will show up on a UA as an opiate along with any other opiates such as Percocet, Vicoden, Lortab, Hydrocodone, etc... Oxycontin however, it being a semi-synthetic compound of the mixture will not show up on a standard UA dip stick test. In order to test for Oxycontin specifically, the tester would have to use what the industry calls an "oxy- stick". Chances are you are safe from testing positive for opiates if all you have done is OxyContin. Same goes for Methadone... Good Luck!

Answer 3

yes, oxycodone is the active drug in vicodin that gives you the high. so if your dealer has been selling you oxycodone, then most chances are they sold you either percocet, vicodin, or a knock off generic version. This,answere above is wrong,whoever wrote it....The main medication in Vicoden is Hydrocodone,completely differnt than Oxycodone,look up your facts before you talk man,that answere could hurt someone.....

Answer 4

no because the chemical in vicoden is hydrocodone bitrate oxycodone brand name is percocet

Answer 5

No. Vicodin contains the opioid hydrocodone, not oxycodone.

Answer 6

They are both opiates, however, drug tests can test specifically test for oxycodone(Oxycontin), but it does show up the same because they are both opiates.

Answer 7

if its a dip test yes if its a lab test no because they can test for both in a lab
