Hydrocodone is Vicodin with Tylenol. Hydromorphone (aka Dilaudid) is straight Hydromorphone. No Tylenol or any other OTC meds mixed in. Obviously, Hydromorphone is much stronger. It is said that it is stronger than Oxycontin.
ones hydromorphone and one is codeine based Actually neither is codeine based. Norco is hydrocodone and tylenol. It is the same as lortab or vicodin only with less tylenol. Hydrocodone is metabolized or broken down in the body into hydromorphone metabolites.
hydromorphone
Answer#1There is no difference.
No. Lortab is hydrocodone with acetepenophen.
Yes, some hydrocodone is turned into a small amount of hydromorphone by the liver. Just like codiene is turned into morphine by the liver enzymes.
Yes!
Does hydrocodone metabolize to hydromorphine? No. Hydrocodone is metabolized to hydromorphone, norhydromorphone, norhydrocodone, dihydromorphine, nordihydromorphine, dihydrocodeine, and nordihydrocodeine. If you meant hydromorphine then yes. I believe it is possible for as much as 30% of hydrocodone to be metabolized to hydromorphone, but usually is much less.
Hydrocodone and Dilaudid (hydromorphone) are both opioid medications, but they have different potencies. Generally, hydromorphone is significantly more potent than hydrocodone; approximately 1 mg of hydromorphone is roughly equivalent to 4-5 mg of hydrocodone. Therefore, to equal 1 mg of Dilaudid (8 mg), you would need about 32-40 mg of hydrocodone. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate dosing and safety considerations.
Tussionex does not have the antihistamine chlorpheniramine, but it does contain hydrocodone.
Hydrocodone is primarily metabolized in the liver, where it is converted into several metabolites, including norhydrocodone and, to a lesser extent, hydromorphone. The conversion to hydromorphone is responsible for some of its analgesic effects. Additionally, hydrocodone can be metabolized via cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP2D6, which can lead to variations in its effectiveness and side effects among individuals.
No, Lortab is the name of the Medicine and Hydrocodone is the ingredient.
Pentazo contains acetominophen
