In general, many opiates can be more effective than oxycodone when taken at a high enough dose. But, using common doses taken by mouth, the opiates that cab be more effective are fentanyl (Duragesic), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), levorphanol (Levo-Dromoran), methadone, morphine, and oxymorphone (Opana). There are narcotic analgesic conversion tables and charts available on the internet and in libraries. These can be very helpful when trying to make comparisons.
The only difference is the potency of the drug - Oxycodone is a stronger opiate than Hydrocodone is. For a pain patient, the decision to move to a stronger drug is usually based on the lower strength drug not being able to do the job in current doses, or if the patient has to take more to deal with the pain. Fewer doses of a drug to deal with a problem is always more preferable to having increase the dose of one that isn't working as well.
No, Roxicet is more potent of a drug then percocet. Thier is a higher potency of oxycodone in Roxicet.
Oxycodone is a narcotic drug with no acetaminophin or Ibprofrin. Dilaudid is not mixed with anything. Dilaudid is also stronger than morphine, as is Oxycodone. 5mg dilaudid is equivalent to approx. 40mg of morphine. Do not take any drug unless ordered by a doctor, as either drug can cause severe problems if taken improperly. Oxycodone is an immediate release drug where Oxycontin is the same as Oxycodone but as a time release.
absolutley positively not. oxycodone will show up on a drug test as an opiate. so no it will not show up as cocaine if your trying to compare it to another drug it will show up as the same drug as heroin.
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.
"ANY oxycodone (the generic term for Vicodin) will show up in a drug test." The persom who posted this answer is only 1/2 but VERY wrong! Oxycodone is not the generic for Vicone. Oxycodone is a completley different drug and is much stronger than vicodin. Vicodin is made of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone and oxycodone will NOT show up as the same drug. Yes any amount of oxycodone will show up for at leat 3-4 days after taking just one pill.
If you take oxycodone 30mg or 5mg the drug test will show up with just oxycodone in your system. The average life span in your urine is 3 days. The only type of testing that would show quantity is a toxicology test. Who is gonna get that? Someone who died of an overdose. Fyi - Oxycodone is percocet. If your taking a 30mg tablet you will not have any Tylenol in the pill. Percocet is oxycodone and Tylenol. And usually is prescribed as 5mg. Percodan is oxycodone and ibuprofen. If you are worried that your doctor will find out you are taking much more oxycodone than you are prescribed, don't. If you are worried about the actual drug showing up in a drug test, stop 3 days before the test.
Hydrocodone is not percocet. Percocet is a combination oxycodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is the active ingredient in brand name Vicodin, which also has acetaminophen in it. The difference is that oxycodone is a little more potent than hydrocodone, but both are very effective for treatment of pain.
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.
Codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone to name a few of the opiates. Meth would be Ritalin or adderol or dexadrine more than likely.
Codeine and Oxycodone are from the same family "OPIATES". Your urine test will show up as positive for opiates. The UA has no way to distinguish whether it is codeine or Oxycodone.
Oxycodone is in the classification as a Opioid but does not come up as a Opiate on a drug test when it comes to a urine test. That is why there is a separate test panel for Opiates and Oxycodone. A Opiate test is morphine based testing for products containing morphine. Oxycodone has a similar structure to Morphine but is not Morphine thus the need for Oxycodone to have its own test panel. Morphine products include Codeine, Heroin, Dilaudid and Hydrocodone, Loratab, Vicodin and Lorcet. Oxycodone products are percocet, percodan, oxycontin , roxicodone and obviously oxycodone. The confusion comes in because oxycodone is a synthetic opiate, however, when it comes to opiates on a drug test it is morphine based.
