Neither in and of itself is damaging to the liver. Opioids are some of the safest drugs available as far as organ health goes. However, anything taken in excess can be damaging.
Sometimes oxycodone is prescribed with Tylenol, and when this is the case it is the Tylenol that can damage the liver, if taken in excess.
As always, take these meds as prescribed and you should have no trouble.
What else can I help you with?
How does it affect your liver to suddenly stop taking oxycodone?
I am not a doctor, but since oxycodone is an instant release pain reliever, more powerful than morphine, stopping it suddenly probably won't do anything to your liver at all. However it may affect your pain level.
IS Oxycodone and morpine equal?
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.
What is the difference between oxycodin and mophine?
Morphine is obtained from the latex of opium poppy seed pods. The opiod oxycodone is synthesized from thebaine, another alkaloid found in opium. Oxycodone and morphine differ in their mode of metabolism. Unlike morphine, oxycodone is metabolized by enzymes in the liver that detoxify a number of prescription drugs. One benefit of oxycodone is that it has fewer side effects than morphine. The latter drug brings on a very strong feeling of pleasure and euphoria. There is pleasure after taking oxycodone, but fewer euphoric side effects than from taking morphine. This should cause oxycodone to be less addictive. Street availability is another difference between oxycodone and morphine. Since morphine is so rarely prescribed for home use, it is not commonly sold on the street. There are large numbers of prescriptions filled for oxycodone in the United States. The drug is available in a slow-release form called OxyContin® that is highly popular with recreational drug users.
Is morphine sul er the same as percocet?
No, morphine sulfate isn't the same as percocet.. which contains acetaminophen and oxycodone. At equivalent dosage and on a person who never took them before, oxycodone is 2 times more powerful than morphine.
Is Hydocone and morphine in the same drug category?
Basically, yes. Percocet is a combination of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen (Tylenol™). Morphine, like oxycodone, is in the opioid family. Addition by Echo646: Morphine is stronger than percocet, however, and it can be more addictive and more likely to cause dependence, so even more care should be used when taking morphine. Every other opioid is judged by how well they treat pain compared to morphine.
Is morphine in fentanyl?
No, Percocet is not oxymorphone. Oxymorphone is a combination of oxycodone and morphine. Percocet is just oxycodone, except for 5's and 10's they also have acetaminophen in them.
Will opana and oxy show up the same on as pee test?
Opana will show up as oxycodone and opiates (more widely known as morphine). OxyContin shows up as oxycodone.
If you take a ten mg percaset at 7 pm what will it show up in a urine test the next day as?
You may show positive for oxycodon. Basic drug urine tests that test for "opiates" detect morphine. Morphine is not a major metabolite of oxycodone, but frequent recent use of oxycodone may leave enough morphine in the body to be detected .Oxycodone is also detectable by several inexpensive urine drug tests (cutoff of 100 ng/mL) and more expensive (GC/MS and HPLC) laboratory testing.
Is percocet tested for in urine tests?
Yes, Basic drug urine tests (5 panel drug test) that test for "opiates" detect morphine. Morphine is not a major metabolite of oxycodone ( Percocet), but frequent recent use of oxycodone may leave enough morphine in the body to be detected .Oxycodone is detectable by several inexpensive urine drug tests (expanded test which includes 5 basic drugs and combination of 3, 4,5, etc.. additional drugs)and more expensive (GC/MS and HPLC) laboratoray testing.
Which drug is stronger percocet 5 mg or oxycodone 5 mg?
The same, basically, except that 5 mg tabs of percocet also contain 500 mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen). Percocet is the same as oxycodone otherwise. If people need higher doses of pain meds they are usually given higher doses of oxycodone since the higher doses of Tylenol in percocet can be damaging to the liver and other organs.
What stronger OxyContin or oxycodone?
Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.
Is MS Contin stronger than morphine?
yes it is. but it will not give u the same feeling as Oxycontin... I myself like the feeling of Oxycontin more than morphine. And the morphine really doesnt help with my pain at all. <3 Tabby <3 There are also a few things that should be noted with morphine, that often doctors are not even aware of. Morphine should NEVER be used for a patient experiencing acute or chronic pancreatitis. I learned this the hard way, as I was begging them to stop giving it to me, as it felt as though it were an acid, burning my stomach. Later, through research on my own, I found out that it is not supposed to be used on patients experiencing that illness. I have also found, through personal experience and that of many others I know... morphine makes me very sick. I start vomiting almost immediately, and the jerking and spasms from the vomiting makes me hurt worse, defeating the purpose! It doesn't make sense, but they can give you morphine more often than they are allowed to give nausea injections in the hospital. I have found Oxycontin, oxycodone, and the other meds in this family to be much less likely to cause the nausea and vomiting.
