Best Answer

Medically speaking hydrocodone is on par with codeine mg for mg. But speaking from my point of view, every reacts to every medication differently. Some people may be helped more with hydrocodone and others may be helped more by codeine. Codeine has a high incidence of allergic reactions.

ANOTHER ANSWERCodeine is rated just above aspirin. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) is a stronger narcotic pain reliever, and is more addictive. Right above hydrocodone is oxycodone (Percocet), which is a bit more addictive. All of the above cause constipation, the worst is probably codeine.

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.

First of all, the "500" on the label IS tylenol, the generic of tylenol actually, acetaminophen. Vicodin will show up as 5/500 etc. The 5 is the dose of the hydrocodone and the 500 is the dose of acetaminophen. SO the answer is NO they are not.
