A member asked:
Can you tell me is a 215 oxycodone stronger than 5mg hydrocodone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask a pharmacist: The "215" on a pill is likely to just be the manufacturer's code for that particular pill; it is not the dose. In general, oxycodone is about 50% more potent than hydrocodone. This means that a hydrocodone pill, in order to be the equivalent to an oxycodone 5 mg, will generally be at least 7.5 mg. This really doesn't mean it's "stronger, " just more potent.
