Research Notes on Oxycodone vs. Hydrocodone
Both hydrocodone and oxycodone are narcotic pain relievers, but oxycodone has a higher potential for abuse than hydrocodone. Both medications have very similar side effects, precautions, and warnings. Oxycodone is generally considered a stronger medication than hydrocodone. Oxycodone is available by itself, but hydrocodone is only available in combination productions.1
Fast Facts:
