Health Question & Answer


Answers:
According to the conversion and titration literature from the manufacturer of Oxycontin, the conversion factor for oxycodone to hydrocodone, on a milligram to milligram basis, is 0.9, indicating that hydrocodone is 90% the strength of oxycodone. However, hydrocodone preparations are always compounded with acetaminophen or ibuprophen, while oxycodone is available either as Percocet (with acetaminophen) or in a variety of other products with no additional medications. Additionally, it's controlled release formulation is manufactured in dosages up to 160 milligrams for cancer pain relief in highly toleranced patients, while hydrocodone maxes out at 10 mg.

So, is oxycodone stronger than hydrocodone.? Yes, but in comparable doses, not by much. But since it's available in much higher dosages, the pills you may be prescribed or know other people to be taking can be much, much stronger.Health Question & Answer
