Meperidine is generic for Demerol which in fact is very similar to Morphine so what do you think?.................Well if you said Meperidine you are correct. Yes they are all opiates. But Morphine is the father try smoking opium.
no
I would say it depends on the type of dental pain (pre-surgical,post-surgical,or just bad infections or abcesses). Demerol (meperidine) is a way stronger pain killer than hydrocodone( vicodin,lortab,norco,vicoprofen). People having serious dental surgeries or have a tolerence to opiods might need the stronger demerol. Less severe dental pain can most likely be controlled by hydrocodone. Also hydrocodone always has either acetaminophen,or ibuprofen in it . While meperidine (demerol) has only that drug in it. The acetaminophen or ibuprofen in hydrocodone also has an anti swelling property to it which can help a lot. I've personally never heard of demerol prescribed for dental pain. Usually if something stronger than hydrocodone is needed percocet (oxycodone) is given.
They're both hydrocodone bitartrate (almost all of the time, when found in pills such as Lortab and Vicodin)- so 7.5mg is stronger than 5mg.
No, morphine has a higher potency then demerol, which is also known as meperidine.
Vicodin 5-500 contains 5 mg of hydrocodone and 500 mg of acetaminophen, while hydrocodone 7.5-500 contains 7.5 mg of hydrocodone and also 500 mg of acetaminophen. The hydrocodone component in hydrocodone 7.5-500 is stronger due to the higher dosage of hydrocodone. Therefore, hydrocodone 7.5-500 is considered stronger than Vicodin 5-500.
Lortab and Vicodin are both forms of hydrocodone. Oxycontin is the controlled-release form of oxycodone. Oxycodone is stronger than hydrocodone.
Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc. So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.
NO propoxyphene is not stronger than hydrocodone ..trust me take my word for i have been givin propoxyphene and hydrocodone and i can tell a big difference in the hydrocodone..so if ur using propoxyphene to get high ur not gonna get higher from it as you would hydrocodone. end of discusion
no
If you are allergic to Demerol (meperidine), it doesn't necessarily mean you will be allergic to hydrocodone, as they are different medications. However, both drugs are opioids, so it's important to consult your healthcare provider before taking hydrocodone. They can help assess your allergy history and determine if hydrocodone is safe for you. Always follow medical advice when it comes to medication allergies.
Norco typically contains 5 mg of hydrocodone per tablet, along with 325 mg of acetaminophen. A 7.5 mg Norco contains 7.5 mg of hydrocodone, while a 10 mg hydrocodone refers to the strength of the hydrocodone alone without any acetaminophen. Therefore, 7.5 mg Norco has less hydrocodone than a 10 mg hydrocodone, making the 10 mg hydrocodone stronger in terms of hydrocodone content.
I suppose it technically depends on the type of pain, and the respective dosages, but just based on the fact that hydrocodone is an opiate, and ketorolac (toradol) is not, for the most part, hydrocodone is going to be stronger. Also hydrocodone as prescribed (in the US) includes a good amount of acetaminophen, which adds to its increased efficacy.
