Q: is hydromorphone 8mg > 30 mg oxycodone? orally< which medication is more effective?

Pain medications: 8 mg of hydormorphone is approximately equal in strength to 10 mg of oxycodone. Neither medication is more effective in everybody. You have to see for yourself which on works better for you. Be careful-both drugs can produce a strong euphoric effect in the right person. That is what starts an addiction. I advise not using any opiate analgesic for more than a few days.
