No, both are analgesic.. but they're not "equivalent" in efficiency.. oxycodone, at the same dosage, is twice more powerful than morphine.
10 mg morphine = 5 mg oxycodone.
Three
Some other prescription medications, that would be equal to or would offer similar pain relieve results as oxycodone, would be diludid and morphine. Percocet and roxicet would also be alternatives for oxycodone.
Orally, 10mg of oxycodone is considered equivalent to 15mg or morphine sulfate but everyone is different. Oxycodone isn't usually used medically by injection so a conversion is unavailable. 5mg morphine by injection is equal to about 15mg of oral morphine. 5mg morphine is probably about equal to 5mg oxycodone by injection. So orally, oxy. is stronger!
According to Nursing 2011 Drug Handbook, the answer to Percodan-325, the answer is no. Percodan is a compound of two different formulas for oxycodone to equal 4.88 mg of oxycodone (again two formulas) and 325 mg of aspirin. Percocet is a compound of oxycodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol) and is manufactured in varying strengths of both oxycodone and acetaminophen.
No, milligrams (mg) of hydromorphone do not equal milligrams of oxycodone, as they are different medications with distinct potencies and effects. Hydromorphone is typically more potent than oxycodone, meaning that a smaller dose of hydromorphone is required to achieve similar analgesic effects. Therefore, the conversion between the two medications is not a straightforward 1:1 ratio and should be done carefully under medical supervision.
Oxycodone vs oxycodone with acetaminophine are essentially the same thing. The narcotic in both medications is the oxycodone, the only difference between the two is the addition of Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). The addition of Tylenol does not necessarily make the combo drug more powerful than the straight oxycodone, but is an adjunctive therapy so to speak. The Tylenol can enhance the pain relief of the oxycodone by working with the oxycodone at pain receptors. So to answer the question, no - oxycodone is not stronger than oxycodone acetaminophen combo.
NO oxycodone or Oxycontin ishe pharmisudical equivilent to heroin
Of the manufacturers of the 30 mg oxycodone which has the highest number
It is important to seek this information from a qualified medical practitioner due to the risks involved.
Oxy what? Oxycodone? Oxycontin? Oxytocin? Oxybutynin? Oxymorphone? Be specific dear.
It would depend on the dosage and type of pill. A 60mg Oxycontin, two 30mg Roxicodones, or six 10mg Percocets all contain the same amount of oxycodone, but the Oxycontin get's absorbed at a slower rate. In theory they would be of equal strength but Oxycontin would twice as long.
oxycodone is just pure heroine.....which is an opiate....
