Everyone is different , but generally oxycodone is better.
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).
Youre right oxycodone is stronger, the difference is on the "Class Schedule" hydrocodone is considered a C3 because it has less adictive potention then oxycodone which is a C2, the DEA classes drugs by there potential for Addiction, a C1 is a drug you are only able to receive while in the hospital.
They are both opiates, but Lortab has Tylenol in it and roxicodone does not. Lortab contains hydrocodone and roxi contains oxycodone. Oxycodone is aprox. 1.5-2 times stronger then hydrocodone.
Vicodin* is a brand name for hydrocodone, which is different than oxycodone. The two are quite similar as they are both derived from codeine. Oxycodone however is about 50% stronger than hydrocodone (vicodin).
no. vicodin is hydrocodone where as a roxie is oxycodone. which is a bit more on the strong side than a vicodin.
Significantly stronger. These drugs are not in the same class. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You might get Tylenol III with codeine, but the oxycodone is stronger than the codeine.
The only difference is the potency of the drug - Oxycodone is a stronger opiate than Hydrocodone is. For a pain patient, the decision to move to a stronger drug is usually based on the lower strength drug not being able to do the job in current doses, or if the patient has to take more to deal with the pain. Fewer doses of a drug to deal with a problem is always more preferable to having increase the dose of one that isn't working as well.
