They are twice "as strong" the dosage a 30mg = 0.03grams of Oxycodon; 60mg = 0.06grams. Check the related link for safety information. Doubling the dose does not have a linear effect ( that means it is not twice as good or effective ). It will have a greater impact on the pain but also an increased potential for side effects and toxicity.
It most definitely is why do you think it says 30mg instead of 20mg
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.
80 mg Oxycontin is by far stronger than 10mg of vicodin(hydrocodone). I am not sure the exact times stronger but I had almost like a foot reconstruction surgery and took 10/650 vicodin and the 650 is 650mg of Tylenol and it barely touched the pain and then was given a 80mg of Oxycontin and it took away my pain for about 4-5 hours, but the point is 80 mg of Oxycontin is way stronger than 10mg of vicodin.
yes Oxycontin (oxycodone) is definitely more potent than percodan
Lortab and Vicodin are both forms of hydrocodone. Oxycontin is the controlled-release form of oxycodone. Oxycodone is stronger than hydrocodone.
Oxycontin is stronger than Percocets, because Percocet contains acetaminophen(Tylenol) and other fillers, whereas Oxycontin is a much purer form of oxycodone.
yes,some brands are stronger than others.
Morphine is generally counted milligram for milligram with Oxycontin. Percocet, Vicodin, Roxycodone, morphine and Oxycontin have the same basic active ingredient. So 100mg morphine will be stronger than an 80mg Oxy.
2mg hydromorphone is equivalent to about 5-6mg oxycodone. Hydromorphone is more for the milligram but 6mg Oxycontin will probably produce a stronger high than 2mg hydromorphone. Or at least it has in my experience.
zinab
Roxicodone 30 contains 30mg of oxycodone and is an instant release pill. OxyContin comes in various strengths and is time released over 12 hours. If you have a tolerance to 10mg hydrocodone, a 30mg Roxicodone pill would still be way too strong. Oxycodone is 1.5x stronger than hydrocodone to begin with so a Roxicodone 30mg pill would be equal to about 4 and a half of the pills you are taking now. Oxycontin is prescribed for chronic pain because useres only have to take 2 pills a day for all day pain relief.
it was developed in 1916 in germany . Made to be stronger than other pain relievers such as morphine, heroine, and codeine. yes i did say oxys are stronger than heroine. its fact not opinion.
