Oxycontin and Percocet are both oxycodone not morphine or hydromorphone.
There is only one 12 hour pain med on the market, and that's OxyContin. It isn't a combination of Percocet and Morphine - Percocet is a combination of Oxycodone and Tylenol. Oxycodone, like all natural opiate meds, are morphine derivatives. OxyContin is a timed-release version of Oxycodone.
Opana is a sustained-release form of hydromorphone, which is a more powerful adjunct of morphine. Because Opana is in a time-release formulation, ostensibly you can't abuse it the way you can with other forms of hydromorphone, most notably dilaudid. It is VERY important that you understand hydromorphone is, again, MANY times stronger than morphine, which itself is many times stronger than street heroin. Also, there is no other active ingredient other than the narcotic itself in Opana. This is unlike Percocet, which in addition to the narcotic Oxycodone, also contains acetaminohpen. Oxycodone, while a strong narcotic for most people, is still not nearly as strong as hydromorphone. This is NOT to say that one can get away with being careless with Percocet, because you certainly cannot. However, I outline the difference between the two narcotics because, even though there are serious risks in abusing either medication, abusing any form of hydromorphone does, in my opinion, carry an even greater risk than that posed by abusing Percocet. But keep in mind, abusing either drug is a very dangerous proposition, indeed. THIS ANSWER IS FOR THE MOST PART CORRECT, BUT--- OPANA's generic name is: oxymorphone HCL also know as NUMORPHAN. hydromorphone is commonly brand name DILAUDID. And yes Percocet/Percodan is: oxycodone...... Just to clarify.... Thank you.....
percocet, xanax, oxycontin,methadone,hydrocodone,morphine,roxys.all i can think of @ tha moment
An opiate is any substance that comes from opium, and the opium poppy. heroin, morphine, codeine, hydrocodone(vicodin), oxycodone(oxycontin,percocet), fentanyl, tramadol. They are all opiates and narcotic analgesics (painkillers.)
Not exactly. The narcotic in Percocet (oxycodone) is metabolized into morphine by the liver. Percocet contains no morphine.
Yes it does. It is opiate based, like Vicodin, percocet, morphine, heroin, etc.
Yes, Morphine does effect your teeth like any other opioid medication. These medications include: morphine, hydrocodone, vicodin, lortab, roxicodone, percocet, oxycontin, etc...
Heroin, oxycontin, and percodan produce effects very similar to morphine. Other opiate painkillers such as percocet and vicodin will produce comparable effects, however they are less intense.
Opium contains various opiates such as morphine, codeine and thebaine.
It can, but generally doctors prefer to prescribe Percocet or plain Oxycodone rather than Dilaudid (hydromorphone), unless the patient has problems with morphine intolerance (both Dilaudid and Fentanyl are synthetic opiates).

Some opiod drugs include morphine, heroin, hyrocodone, oxycodone, and of course opium. Opioids have inherent analgesic (pain relieveing) properties and haven been used both medicinally and recreationally since 6000 BCE, making it one of the oldest drugs.
