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

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.

Potency?: Oxycontin is more potent. One gets equal pain relief with about 50-66% of the number of mg of Oxycontin as it requires of morphine.
