would like information on a comparrison of the two drugs are they equal in strenght ## That would depend on the dosage. Norco contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. Winadeine contains Acetaminophen and Codeine. The Codeine is not equal in strength to the Oxycodone, so you would need a higher dose of it to achieve the same pain relief. The side effect profile, however, is the same: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Read more: Are there any comments or questions?

Currently I am taking two tablets of Norco, Hydroco/apap 7.5-325 tab. If I suddenly switched to Winadeine, 500 ,g8 what would be the consequences? ## Hello, Larry! How are you? The FDA lists Winadeine as containing Codeine and Acetaminophen, so you won't get comparable pain relief. Codeine is much weaker than Hydrocodone. You'd actually need 50mgs of Codeine to equal each 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone that you were taking. You couldn't take that many of the Winadeine tablets, because you'd end up overdosing on the Acetaminophen, which could be fatal. The FDA classifies this medication as 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...

I currently take tylenol #4 for chronic back pain. Will taking Winadeine F 325/8mg provide the same level of pain relief? ## Both of these medications contain Acetaminophen with Codeine, but Winadeine-F is not available in the U.S. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## are they the same?? do they have the same amount of codine

how often I can take it? Ii had a tooth implant and I have severe pain. How often I can take it?

It has codeine fosfate

I HAVE HYPPERTHYOIDISM OF HASHIMOTO, AND INTHE CONTRADICTIONS OF THE USE OF WINADEINE F THEY ALERT

They proscribed me winadeine f 500mg/30mg and both are simuler drugs but codeina is less potent then condone are they both synthetic. Heroin ## Yes, Codeine is much less potent than Oxycodone, it is about 10 times less potent. Just to use your example of the 30mgs of Codeine you mention, it would only take 3mgs of Oxycodone to match that. Read the Oxycodone Details here and Codeine Details here. is this dosage not helping your pain?
