Vicodin is not an Opiate, but it is an Opioid. Although similar, there is a difference between the two. Basically, an Opiate is derived from the poppy plant while an Opioid is a natural or synthetic substance that triggers the Opioid (pain) receptors in the brain.

Will you die if heroin goes into your digestive system?

No. Heroin is an opiate, just like vicodin (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). Opiates are ingestible. If one were to eat heroin, they would get high. Also opiates bind with receptors in your digestive system, which is why they (opiates) can cause constipation.


What is the difference between Vicodin ES 7.5 750 and percocet 5-325?

percocet is a little bit stronger than vicodin in terms of its sedating and painkilling effects. i had my wisdom teeth out a month ago and after a few days the vicodin the doctor prescribed me for pain gradually lost its effect. he then prescribed me percocet which felt stronger to me but like the vicodin it gradually lost its effect. your body tends to build high tolerances to these drugs if used consistently.
