Why Do 10/650 Loracets Seem Stronger Than 10/500 Loratabs

if the 10 mgs of hydrocodone(loracets) are the same as any other pain relievers containing 10 mgs of hydrocodone (ex: narco, loratab....) why do the 10 mg loracets seem to work twice as good as the others.

REPORT

Because the different amount of Acetaminophen plays a role, it basically enhances the effects of the narcotic, so it works better.

However, they do have to limit the amount of Acetaminophen that is used, because if a person takes too much of it in a day, it can be severely toxic. Thus, these amounts have been carefully formulated to provide safety and efficacy.

not experienced in this field. I always used loracet. from what I understand Lortab is hydrocodone bitartrate and lortab is the same with 5 grain aspirin (~350mg acetaminophen). I believe that percocet has caffeine added - I have never used this drug so my experience is limited.

My question is "what is a codone"? This surely canot be oxymorphone! that stuff is rather strong.
