What is stronger Oxycontin or oxycodone?

Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.


What mg of Oxycontin is comparable to 30 mg of codeine?

Hydrocodone and Oxycontin contain the same active drug... oxycodone. So 10mg of Hydrocodone and 10 mg of Oxycontin have the same amount of Oxycodone (10 mg) in them. The only difference is that the Hydrocodone contains Tylenol in addition to the Oxycodone. So on the Hydrocodone bottle it might say something like 10/500. So the Hyrocodone in that instance has 10 mg of oxycodone and 500mg of Tylenol.

What is the street value of 650 mg oxycodone?

well most the time on the east coast oxy is worth about a dollar a mg but the more you sell at one time like all drugs the price goes down as wekk The highest dosage Oxycontin comes in is 160 mg which good luck finding one of those. If you have a pill that says 650mg that is referring to the Tylenol in it which means you have percocet not Oxycontin. It might say 10/650: 10 being mg of oxycodone and 650 mg of acetaminophen.


How much Tylenol is in 20 mg of Oxycontin?

You should double-check what is listed on the label, but Oxycontin is a brand name for time-release oxycodone tablets that contain no acetaminophen (Tylenol).


Is Oxycontin time released?

I know that the original Oxycontin does have time release but I am not sure about any of the generic brands. The time release on Oxycontin can be removed by peeling off the outer color (that is the time release)Oxycontin (generic and name brand) is time released (the 'contin' in Oxycontin stands for continuous) but there are brands availabe without the time release coating. The only one I'm aware of is Roxicodone, which is 15mg of oxycodone and is fast-acting, due to the lack of the time release coating. Roxicodone is normally prescribed for breakthrough pain. But yes, Oxycontin the time release feature only works if the coating is not peeled off, or if the pill is cut in half or quarters. That's the only way to get all the medication of an Oxy out at once. But unless you're opiate-tolerant (meaning you have taken Oxycontin every day for several months straight), I wouldn't recommend it. Trust me, when I tried a 20mg Oxycontin for the first time with the time release still on it, it worked wonders. *sigh* I miss those days. Never abuse Oxy, you will regret it! It never feels the same after you abuse it for years, even if you go a week without any!


How many oxycodone does it take to replace one Oxycontin?

It all depends on how many milligrams your Oxycontin is. For example if you take a Oxycontin 60 MG. You could take Six 10/325 MG Percocet(the 325 of Tylenol with equals to almost 2000mg of Tylenol which is 4 extra strength Tylenol...not safe) , four 15 MG Roxicodone two 30 MG Roxicodone. Oxycontin main ingredient is oxycodone I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS. PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

Is 10 mg of Oxycontin equal to 5 mg Oxycodone?

Based on my own personal experiences together with some of the reading I have done... Oxy is roughly twice as strong as Hydro. So with that said, 30mg of Oxy would roughly equal 60mg of hydro. Although 60mg of hydro seems to like quite a bit. Since hydro is always combined with APAP (whereas oxy can be in a pure form) and to be quite frank, although closely related and similar, they are two different drugs and have their own effects. Sometimes I prefer hydro over Oxy because of the euphoria it gives me. Where as Oxy gives me good euphoria but tends to lay me out more ... It really has a lot to do with the individual and their tolerance, their preferences... I hope this helps. Sorry I wrote so much.
