Everything. They're not even approximately related.

Hydrocodone is a drug molecule which resembles codeine in its structure.

Hydrochloride is HCl. It's a little complicated to explain if you're not a chemist, but many pharmaceutically active compounds are oily liquids in their native state. This is inconvenient for things like making pills, but there's a solution: convert them to the hydrochloride salt, which is usually a crystalline solid.

Oxycodone is a narcotic. It is derived from thebaine, an alkaloid of opium. There is no non-narcotic preparation that contains oxycodone. Perocet is a medicine that contains both oxycodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol). So there are meds that are joined with oxycodone that are non-narcotic. But anything that has oxycodone in it is a narcotic.

Oxycodone HCL or Oxycontin (oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release) Tablets are an opioid analgesic supplied in 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg tablet strengths for oral administration. Hydrocodone Acetaminophen or Vicodin is an opioid analgesic supplied in 5/500 and other strengths. Now for the differences

Oxycodone HCL

  • Schedule II class drug, the higher the class or lower the number the more controlled the substance is by the DEA.
  • Has no acetaminophen (AKA Tylenol)
  • last 24 hours and is controlled release
  • (I think) can be taken orally or injected

Hydrocodone Acetaminophen (vicodin)

  • Schedule III class drug, more widely available and not as controlled as Schedule II, more comonly prescribed.
  • Has Acetaminophen in it and should not be exceeding 4 Grams or 4,000 MG/ DAY Vicoden can have 325, 500, 750 and differant doses of Hydrocodone. This med is a combination of 2 drugs.
  • Last between 4 and 6 hours and may need to be taken several times a day.
  • Can only be taken orally.

These are all the diffs I can think of right now.

Oxycodone and oxycodone HCl are the same drug. HCl, or hydrochloride, is used to balance the charge on the oxycodone molecule.

What is ic oxycodone hcl 5 mg?

It's only one quarter the size of a percocet 5-325 tablet. Easy to drop on the floor and get lost in the carpet fiber. It's tiny, almost round, has a fancy letter V on one side, the numbers '48' and '10' on the other side - divided by a indented cutting line. White in color with a shell finish.


Does percocet 10 325 and oxycodone hcl 30mg tablets show up as different drugs on employment urinalysis drug screen and will it reveal higher levels of the drug if you have been taking oxycodone hcl?

Percocet and oxycodone are synthetic opiods, and both have the same active narcotic oxycodone. Percocet is oxycodone 10mg and acetominaphen 325mg. Oxyxodone HCI is 30mg Oxycodoe and basically a salt additive. They do not metabolise into morphine which is what they test for in a standard 5 panel opiate drug test. They would have to order an extended opiate panel to test for synthetic opiates such as oxycodone and hydrocodone.


Is Methscopolamine Bromide a narcotic?

no it is not a narcotic


Is oxycodone hcl 30 mg stronger than oxycodone apap 10-325?

The Oxycodone 30 IR have approximately 28.936 MG of Oxycodone. The Percocet 10/325 have apporximately 8.6 MG of Oxycodone. So yes, the 30MG Oxy IR are way more stronger. Plus the Acetaminophen in Percocet really lowers the dosage of the 8.6MG you're already getting. hcl means it is straight oxycodone with nothing else like tylonal added. apap means it has tylonal in the mix and also 30mgs is 3 times stronger than 10mgs i think you know that LOL. Oxycodone hcl 30 mg, is an immediate release pain reliever, primarily designed for treatment of chronic pain, usually prescribed as a supplement to extended release pain relievers. The hcl is an abbreviation for hydrochloride which is the medium of suspension of the oxycodone. Oxycodone apap 10-325 is a mixture of oxycodone hcl and what the apap stands for acetiminophen. If you have chronic pain and require a high dose of a narcotic pain reliever you will generally not be prescribed this kind of medication since overtime the acetiminophen can reak havoc on your liver. This is however, a nice version of the the oxycodone apap mixture since it is the lowest dose of apap you can get in an oxycodone pill.
