Oxycodone is a synthetic form of codeine, an opiod analgesic (pain reliever). This means it was created in a lab, and although oxycodone's chemical name is derived from codeine and the chemical structures are very similar, they are a little different in that they act on different receptors in the body. One may produce fewer adverse reactions than the other, depending on the person, but degree of pain relief is similar. Oxycodone is often mixed with acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, giving it the potential to cause liver damage in those who are susceptible, or when consumed with alcohol.
What else can I help you with?
What drugs show up as an opiate on a urine test?
Morphine, heroin, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and any other drug that is a derivative of opium.
Does oxycotin have codeine in it?
No, oxycodone does not have codeine in it. This drug is in Percocet (and others), which is a bit stronger than codeine. I don't know what prescription you (may) have, but often, the Percocet will also have aspirin or acetominophen (Tylenol) in it as well. This is called a "compound" drug because it has two different medications in it.

Are percoset and hydrocodone the same?
I believe you mean "Oxycodone" which is the generic name for Percocet or Tylox. My doctors know I am allergic to codeine; but subscribe Oxycodone, which has codeine, but so does percocet. I am waiting for pharmacist to call me know to let me know if it has the same amount. Percocet does not bother my stomach but Oxycodone does.
When you take codeine you get serious nausea is oxycodone the same as codeine?
It is very similar. Very few people can tolerate Oxycodone when they are allergic to Codeine. The basis of most prescription pain relievers is a derivative of Codeine. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to Codeine, and the only pain reliever I am able to tolerate is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic. I cannot even take over-the-counter Imodium, as it is made with Codeine. They have tried Morphine, Vicodin, Lortab, all of the "-odones", all with the same results. I assume each person is different, if you feel nauseous with any of these medications, notify your Doctor, as they may be able to supplement the medication with an anti-nausea medication. Good Luck.
