Are two oxycodone 5 mg the same strength as one oxycodone 10 mg?

If you are talking about pills with only oxycodone in them, yes, 2 x 5 = 10. However, if you are talking about something like Percocet or a generic of it, they are not the same because of the acetomenophen in them. Each percocet 5 or 10 has 500 mg acetomenophen (tylenol) in it, so 2 5's have 1000 mg acetomenophen, and 1 10 mg percocet has only 500 mg acetomenophen.

∙ 12y agoYes. This is twice as strong, hence 10 mgs of instead of 5 mgs, either oxcodone or hydrocodone. However the Tylenol amount 325 remains the same. So one of the 10/325 is equal to two (2) of the 5/325 mg tablets/caplets.

Most things in pharmacology are dose-dependent. And if all things are equal (both the 30mg and 5mg pill are immediate release) then the 30mg pill will be more powerful than the 5mg pill.
One could say that taking one 30mg would be the same as taking SIX 5mg pills.

∙ 10y agoPercocet is an opiate analgesic, consisting of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Percocet dosages are given in Oxycodone/Tylenol combination numbers, e.g., 10/325, with the 10mg representing the amount of Oxycodone.
In your question, the Percocet would be stronger, as it contains 10mg of Oxycodone compared to 5mg.

Is there a difference in the strength of generic 5mg oxycodone Are 512's stronger or are the Watson brand stronger?
The only difference between the two from what I understand of your question is.... The only difference between the two are the drug makers.... The one is manufectured by Watson,and the other is made by Mallinkart,as far as one being stronger than the other-all generics are the same,except for the fillers...cornstarch etc.etc. The narcotic oxycodone is the same in both tablets
Is oxycodone equal to or lesser than Oxycontin in strength?
It would depend on the dosage and type of pill. A 60mg Oxycontin, two 30mg Roxicodones, or six 10mg Percocets all contain the same amount of oxycodone, but the Oxycontin get's absorbed at a slower rate. In theory they would be of equal strength but Oxycontin would twice as long.
Does percodan make 10-325 strength?
According to Nursing 2011 Drug Handbook, the answer to Percodan-325, the answer is no. Percodan is a compound of two different formulas for oxycodone to equal 4.88 mg of oxycodone (again two formulas) and 325 mg of aspirin. Percocet is a compound of oxycodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol) and is manufactured in varying strengths of both oxycodone and acetaminophen.
Difference between Oxycodin and Oxycotin?
oxycodin is either a misspelling for oxycodone or Oxycontin. Oxycontin is pure oxycodone into a pill, with inert binders. It is the name of the pill. Oxycodone is the name of the chemical in the pill. Technically they are the same thing... "Technically they are the same thing..." >>>Not really true. Oxycodone is the drug itself, yes. Oxycontin is a time-release version of the medication. If you look at two medications, one oxycodone and one Oxycontin, then you are looking at an immediate-release pill and a time-release pill. Be very careful with these drugs. Taking too many can make you very, very sick, and Oxycontin should NEVER be crushed or broken.

Does percocet and hydrocodone show up the same on a urnine test for pain management?
No they can tell the difference between the two of them!!Percocet is Oxycodone,and Hydrocodone is Hydrocodone, also called vicodin,Lorcet,lortab.Hydrocodone and oxycodone are two different things.
Is Oxycodone in the same family as Hydrocodone?
Yes and no. Both are narcotics for relieving pain. However, Oxycodone has a higher potency than Hydrocodone. Oxycodone is found in Hydrocodone, yet Hydrocodone is cut with acetominophen (tylenol) as well. Oxycodone alone is stronger than Hydrocodone, and in a perscription is generally a higher dose. for example, a usual perscription strength of hydrocodone is 7.5/650. this means that there is 7.5mg of oxycodone, and 650mg of acetominophen. Oxycodone perscriptions will have a single number, say 30mg. this means the tablet is simply 30mg of oxycodone. If you're a patient who needs the pills for pain relief, keep them locked up. If you're a recreational user, be careful and dont take your parents pills.
