Oxy: Oxycodone is generally thought to be a bit more potent than morphine. Usual ratios on a mg basis is 3 mg morphine = 2 mg oxycodone. That stated different medications work differently on different people due to genetics and medication interactions.

Question 7

which is stronger oxycontin, or ms contin (morphine)?

Accepted Answer

OxyContin: Oc (extended release oxycodone) is stonger by a factor of almost twice-that is 15 mg of oc is about equal to 30 mg of MS contin (extended release morphine sulphate). But there is a lot of variability between individuals. Oc seems to be more energizing for some patients and as a result there is more "liking" which is independent of the pain relief. That may explain why there seems to be more abuse.

Ms conting lasts only 6 to 8 hours and is seldom dispensed by pharmacies due to the multiple companies making a generic version. The generics have even more variabilty in their duration. Kadian uses a delivery mechanism that is more reliable over a longer period. They both contain morphine as the active drug.
