Dosage Difference

Updated

I usually take hydrocodone 7.5/325 and have for 2 1/2 years but am running low is it safe for me to take oxycodone 5/325 in its place. It would be the first time I have taken oxycodone so I was unsure of just how much stronger it is than the other.

Hello! How are you?

Well, the caveat I must give is not to switch what you're taking, without your doctor's approval.

But yes, running it through the opiate dosage converter, 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone is equivalent to 5mgs of Oxycodone.

Learn more Percocet details here.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Is there any major differences in (the way) it takes away the pain or how you feel. I don't feel drowsy or anything on my regular dose of hydrocodone just want to make sure I am not messed up or extremely drowsy.
