Difference btw hydrocodone and oxycodone?SHELLBELL79 Mar 23, 2012 Therefore, 5 mg of oxycodone is about 16 mg of hydrocodone so oxycodone is about 3 times stronger than hydrocodone. However, geminigirl is right in that everyone is different. I have read that some say hydrocodone works better for their pain than percocet and viceversa. For me, percocet works a lot better for my pain.

Why is Oxycontin so much stronger than Oxycodone? Report Abuse. OxyContin is nothing more than a concentrated form of Oxycodone, for example if you took a 40mg OC, you might as well have taken 8 5mg Percocets. And since I capitalized the O and C in OxyContin and it might appear as though I am shouting, I better get off of here.

What Makes an Opioid Stronger or Weaker Than Morphine? Weaker-than-morphine opioids included codeine, dihydrocodeine, meperidine, pentazocine, propoxyphene, and tramadol; morphine-equivalent opioid analgesics included hydrocodone, morphine, and tapentadol; and stronger-than-morphine opioids included fentanyl, hydromorphone, methadone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone.ramadol has a different mechanism of action than does morphine; there is a ceiling to the pain relief that tramadol can provide. It makes no sense to put it in the same category as the other drugs. It is puzzling that the authors put hydrocodone, morphine, and tapentadol in the morphine-equivalent category.

What Makes an Opioid Stronger or Weaker Than Morphine? Tapentadol does not have the same mechanism of action as morphine; it has a dose ceiling whereas morphine does not. Therefore, it does not make sense to classify it as a morphine-equivalent analgesic. The authors assert that fentanyl, hydromorphone, methadone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone are stronger than morphine. While it is true that a smaller dose of these drugs may be required to obtain the same analgesic response as can be obtained with morphine, that fact does not mean that they have greater effectiveness.

Hydrocodone Medical uses[edit] Hydrocodone is used to treat moderate to severe pain and as an antitussive to treat cough. In one study comparing the potency of hydrocodone to that of oxycodone, it was found that it took 50% more hydrocodone to achieve the same degree of miosis (pupillary contraction). The investigators interpreted this to mean that oxycodone is about 50% more potent than hydrocodone.

Oxycodone vs oxycontin strength I usually take 500 mg max strength tylenol with 10 mg oxycodone. Due to an emergency room visit I was given percocet.

Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) vs. Lortab (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Oxycodone is a strong narcotic pain-reliever and cough suppressant similar to morphine, codeine, and hydrocodone.

Oxycodone does not eliminate the sensation of pain but decreases discomfort by increasing the tolerance to pain. In addition to tolerance to pain, oxycodone also causes sedation and depression of respiration.
