A member asked:
Other than being stronger what is the difference between hydrocodone and oxycotin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Misinformed: Hydrocodone and oxycodone are equivalent when taken by mouth on a milligram for milligram basis. Oxycontin is an extending release preparation of Oxycontin so it has a much longer duration of action.
