Yes, it is possible to be prescribed both oxycodone and hydrocodone at the same time, but this is generally uncommon and may raise concerns about safety and potential for overdose. Both medications are opioids used to treat pain, and using them together can increase the risk of side effects and dependence. A healthcare provider will carefully assess the patient's condition and pain management needs before making such a decision. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding medication use.

What is the difference between hydrocodone and percodan?

Percocet is the brand name for an Oxycodone/Tylenol combination pain drug. Percodan is Oxycodone with Aspirin. They are DEA Schedule 2 controlled substances, meaning there are more restrictions on prescribing and dispensing. The dosage indicates in milligrams the amount of each in the pill; for example, I use Percocet 10/325's, which means there are 10mg's of Oxycodone and 325mg's of Tylenol in each. Oxycodone is also prescribed in a time-release version, which is known by its brand name of OxyContin. It lasts from 8-12 hours. Hydrocodone is actually listed on both DEA Schedule 2 and 3, but they're a bit different in composition and strength. Dihydrocodeinone is the base for Schedule 2 Hydrocodone; Hydrocodone and Isoquinolone alkaloid combination is the Schedule 3 version, and is the base drug for most common prescriptions, which are Hydrocodone/analgesic mixes (Hydrocodone/Tylenol, etc.). The way to tell is by your prescriptions; Schedule 2 drugs cannot have refills, be called into a pharmacy, require new prescriptions for every new fill, and the patient can only get a 30 day supply at a time. Vicodin is the brand name for Hydrocodone and Isoquinolone alkaloid. Of the 2, preparations with Oxycodone are stronger in relation to similar dosages (e.g., 5mg Oxycodone is stronger than 5mg Hydrocodone / Isoquinolone). On the opiate comparison chart, Hydrocodone is only 6 times as strong as Codeine, where Oxycodone is 15-20 times as strong. Percocet is typically prescribed for short term severe pain (post surgery, e.g.) that is expected to heal, or for long term chronic pain patients as a primary or breakthrough drug used with a stronger opiate. Those who are taking it long term are typically referred to Pain Management. Vicodin is prescribed for lower level pain, either short term or for a few weeks.

What is 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.

What is the difference between oxycocet and oxycodone?

These two drugs are similar, but NOT the same. Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin, Norco, Lortab and about 30 others. It is a narcotic analgesic, and not quite as strong as Oxycodone. It's also SLIGHTLY less regulated i.e. it can be CALLED IN to a pharmacy by a physician. It can be habit forming. Vicodin and the rest are a combo of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Oxycodone is also a narcotic analgesic, and also can be habit-forming. It can also be a combo of acetaminophen and oxycodone (generic) such as Percocet, Tylox, Roxilox. It is SLIGHTLY more regulated i.e. it CANNOT be called in to a pharmacy: you have to have a physical written prescription from a physician. Because of its potential for abuse and dependence, doctors tend to prescribe Vicodin rather than Percocet. Oxycodone can be prescribed as a single drug preparation ( minus the acetaminophen.)
