Opioids: Tylenol (acetaminophen) with codeine is less potent than Morphine. Both work on certain receptors in the body, but Morphine has a higher affinity for the pain receptors & thus you will feel the pain decrease better & faster than you would with the codeine. You will also feel more sedative effects, constipation & potential dependence with the Morphine. Use with caution and only when you need it. Hope this helps.

Essentially none: in opioid equivalents codeine is 180 is equal to morphine 30. So 30 of codeine is equal to 5 of morphine but depending on the person there may be a 30-50% difference due to incomplete cross tolerance.
