Fentanyl - is a synthetic primary opioid receptor agonist. It is approximately 100 times more potent than Morphine, with 100 micrograms of fentanyl approximately equivalent to 10 mg of morphine and 75 mg of Pethidine (meperidine) in analgesic activity.

Hydromorphone, a more common synonym for dihydromorphinone and dimorphone, commonly a hydrochloride (trade names Palladone, Palladone SR, Dilaudid and numerous others) is a potent centrally-acting Analgesic Medication of the Opioid class. It is a derivative of Morphine, specifically a Hydrogenated Ketone thereof and therefore a semi-synthetic drug. It is both medically an Opioid analgesic and legally a Narcotic. It is 8 times more potent than Morphine.

Is the Fentanyl stronger than Percocet?

Yes, fentanyl is significantly stronger than Percocet. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, while Percocet contains a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen, which is less potent than fentanyl. Due to its strength, fentanyl carries a higher risk of overdose and is typically used in more severe pain management scenarios.


Is hydrocodone stronger than a 75 mg Fentanyl patch?

Yes, hydrocodone is generally considered less potent than a 75 mg fentanyl patch. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is significantly stronger than hydrocodone, with potency estimates suggesting that fentanyl can be 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Therefore, a 75 mg fentanyl patch delivers a higher level of pain relief compared to hydrocodone. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice.

What is stronger Dilaudid or Oxycontin?

Dilaudid would be more potent than Norco. Dilaudid is roughly 5-7x more potent than morphine where as hydrocodone is .6 the potency of 10mg of morphine. So the hydrocodone would be much less potent as hydromorphone (dilaudid) or morphine.
