Can anyone tell me if Codeine Phosphate 30 mg tablets will relieve the pain that a percocet 10/325 will?

yes..maybe no. We all react differently, to different medications...and have differing situations ( how long taking? ) However, in light of finding this very wonderfully run website...here's my 2cents: Yes, it will, it usually works at a very much lessor effective rate because it has to be metabalized (?) by your liver...into morphine. So, 30 mgs will work compartivly with a percoset 7.5...in my body. I have been in pain management for 26 years...perfect record & results: Intractible tenent chronic pain from a left hip shattered into many pieces...twice, and broken severely twice...the final brake came with a bonus injury! I compound fractured my left femur...thru a hole into the car door..yeowww!

No. It isn't an equivalent. Codeine is not as strong as Percocet.

That is correct, Codeine is not as strong as the Oxycodone in Percocet, though it is also an opiate narcotic, so the FDA warns that it also carries the risk of being habit forming. For example, each 10mgs of Codeine is equal to approximately 1mg of the Oxycodone in the Percocet.

Its typical side effects may also include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Is there anything I can help with?
