325mg where ten % of that will be hydrocodone the rest will be aspirin or whatever, then there is 500's always a 10% ratio between hydrocodone and the aspirin, 750's and 1000's
pure hydrocodone will usually start from 5 and go up on the 2.5 scale
hydrocodone starts at 2.5 mgs , then 5 mgs , then 7.5 mgs ,then 10 mgs...the 325 and 500 and 650 you see on the bottles are the amounts of acetaminophen in each pill....i thought this would be a little more clear to you than the above answer
They are two different types of narcotic pain reliever.
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.
It's not codeine, it's hydrocodone. And I know of 5mg and 7.5mg doses, with 500 and 325 mgs of APAP; but I don't know if those are the only doses.
Significantly stronger. These drugs are not in the same class. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You might get Tylenol III with codeine, but the oxycodone is stronger than the codeine.
Norco is a combination medication that contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. It does not contain opium or opium-derived compounds. Instead, hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from codeine, which is itself derived from opium, but the specific amount of opium in a 5 mg tablet of Norco is effectively zero.
Tylenol 3 contains 300 mg of acetaminophen and 30 mg of codeine, while Norco typically contains 325 mg of acetaminophen and 10 mg of hydrocodone. To equate them based on the opioid component, 1 Norco (10 mg hydrocodone) is roughly equivalent to 3 Tylenol 3 (90 mg codeine) in terms of opioid strength, but the acetaminophen dosages differ. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate medication comparisons and dosages.
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.
Acetaminophen - cod 3 (often known as acetaminophen with codeine 3) contains a lower dose of codeine (usually 30 mg) combined with acetaminophen, primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain. In contrast, hydrocodone - acetaminophen 5-325 contains 5 mg of hydrocodone, a stronger opioid, along with 325 mg of acetaminophen, making it more effective for moderate to severe pain management. The key difference lies in the opioid component, with hydrocodone being more potent than codeine.
I know this much for sure. The first number in there is the amount of codeine in the pill, maximum amount is 10, then goes to 7.5, 5. The second number depends on the name of the pill. Vicoden ,Hydrocodone, Perkeset, Darvacet, Lortab, all contain codeine ( or isomers of codeine ) as the main drug, the only thing that changes is the secondary drug. for example, the Hydrocodone 5-500 contains 5 mg. of codeine and 500 mg. of a generic brand of Tylenol. The Lortab 5-500 is the same only the Tylenol is brand name.
2.5mg
10mg is the strongest prescribed. There are different variations such as 10/325, 10/500, 10/660, and I think the make a 10/750. The larger numbers are the acetaminophen combined with the hydrocodone.
No, Stillpane is not the same as vicodin. It contains 8 mg codeine phosphate while vicoding contains from 5-10 mg hydrocodone (a much stronger opiate). They both contain varying degrees of acetaminophen (or paracetemol), from around 300-500 mg. Fallpane contains an additional 32 mg caffeine.
