I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist, so my answer is entirely from experience with the two drugs. Naproxen 500 is WEAK in comparison to oxycodone 500. Naproxen if anything is more of a anti inflammatory, oxycodone can get you "high", naproxen not so much.

First off you will never find an oxycodone 500 but if you could if it didnt kill you it would work much better for pain than a naproxin 500. The naproxin will help some but compared to 500 mg oxycodone forget it. If you find a oxycodone 500 let me know. The highest I hve heard of
is 160 mg.

There is no such thing as an "oxycodone 500." The number after the name of the drug indicates how many milligrams of the drugs are in each tablet. Oxycodone/roxicodone dosages max out 30 mg. OxyContin maxes out at 80. Naproxen does come in 500 mg dosages but only at prescription strength (an Aleve tablet, by comparison, contains only 200 mg).

More important, you are comparing apples and Oranges: naproxen is an NSAID (non-steroidal inflammatory drug) while oxycodone is an opiate; they are both used for pain relief but they work on completely different receptors and oxycodone is a Schedule II drug while Naproxen is not scheduled. NOTE: A 500 mg dose of Oxycodone HCL would likely be fatal, whether you're opiod-tolerant or not.

Which is stronger hydrocodone 750mg or oxycodone 350mg?

The Hydrocodone M357 tablet is a 5/500. The Oxycodone 512 tablet is a 5/325. Oxycodone is a stronger painkiller than Hydrocodone. Not only is the Oxycodone tablet stronger, but it would also be better for your liver since it contains less Acetaminophen (Tylenol).


Is a percoset stronger than a Vicodin?

Percocet comes in strengths of 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg oxycocdone hydrochloride. Vicodin is 5mg hydrocodone. 5mg of oxycodone is the equivalent strength of 7.5mg of hydrocodone. Also, equivalent milligrams of oxycodone hydrochloride (Percocet) is slightly weaker than oxycodone (OxyContin). So, yes.


Which is stronger hydrocodone 5-325 or 5-500?

It's the same amount of Hydrocodone (5mg); the 325 and the 500 are the amounts of Tylenol.

Not unless it contains hydrocodone or oxycodone (vicodin / percocet)!!

What is the difference between Vicodin 5-500 and Vicodin 10-500?

Vicodin 5-500 has 5mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of acetaminophen (tylenol). However Vicodin 10-500 has 10mg of hydrocodone and 500mg of acetaminophen. The only difference is the 10-500 has 5mg more than the other one. its stronger by 2x.


Does Vicodin have Tylenol in it?

Depends on the type of vicodin. Generic vicodin ES contains 7.5 mgs of hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen.


What mg of Oxycontin is comparable to 30 mg of codeine?

Hydrocodone and Oxycontin contain the same active drug... oxycodone. So 10mg of Hydrocodone and 10 mg of Oxycontin have the same amount of Oxycodone (10 mg) in them. The only difference is that the Hydrocodone contains Tylenol in addition to the Oxycodone. So on the Hydrocodone bottle it might say something like 10/500. So the Hyrocodone in that instance has 10 mg of oxycodone and 500mg of Tylenol.


What is the strongest in Vicodin?

10mg is the highest. i'm pretty sure they have 10-325 and 10-500 and 10-750 but the only difference is the amount of tylenol. its still 10mg of the opiates. if you want something stronger, its percocet. oxycodone instead of hydrocodone.


Which is stronger 5-500mg hydrocone or 10-325mg oxycodone?

They are both very similar. The 7.5 in both of them stand for the amt. of hydrocodone and oxycodone in each tablet. The 500 and 325 stand for how much acetaminophen or also known as Tylenol is in each tablet. They hydro and oxy are similar except that hydro is made with a process of water and oxy are made with a process of oxygen.


Which is stronger Percocet or Vicodin?

Percocet are much stronger then vics. They contain Oxycodone which is a more powerful drug.Vicodin and percocet are about the same,your body metabolises different from everyone elses. While Vicodin might work really well for me percocet might work better for you. I have a vitamin D defeciency and fybromyagia and have asked my doctor to put me on Hydrocodone 5/350 as the 5/500 I am on now are not working for the pain.
