Okay let me break this down for you so you know your narcotics and can eduacate people like I do as a pain management counselor all opiates and opiods come from the opium poppy and chemical derivites of opiums first and foremost their is morphine, what they call the gold standard in pain management. then there is codeine another drug based on opium yet totally different from morphine both are naturally occuring and can by made without synthesizing the opium. Morphine is stronger than codiene. Heroine is a synthetic bastardized version of morphine that is much stronger and much more addictive. It is made in a lab using the raw opium or morphine as a base product for production. Generally it kills by being mixed with products like baby powder lactose, and powdered sugar then being watered down boiled in a teaspoon and injected in a nasty condemned building somewhere. Heroine is approximately 16 times stronger than pharmaceutical grade Morphine, depending on how it is cut. Oxycodone is the generic name for the drug in Percocet or Percodan. Hydrocodone is the generic form of the drug found in Vicodin, Lortab, Norco and Lorcet. Both are sythetic derivitives of the cedeine molecule however "oxy" is almost always stronger than "hydro" in any situation. As for this situation oxycodone is a schedule II narcotic where as hydrocodone is a schedule III narcotic. Different fines, jail time for possesion distribution etc and the government sees oxy as as higher potential for abuse, where as Xanax,(alprazolam) a schedule !V sleep and anxiety aid, is the most addictive drug known to man, so don't get hung up on the scheduling difference, Just some medical "red tape".
So to wrap this all up heroin, which isn't pure and very scary, and not approved by any body and may be cut with rat poisin, is the strongest, however medically there is a drug called fentanyl that is much stronger that is readily available. Morphine is the most trusted and most used by all doctors world wide for pain management. there is codeine a naturally occuring derivitive of opium and if you sythesize the chemical you get the drugs oxycocone and hydrocodone in which oxycodone is stronger and more addictive. I hope this clears thing up a little bit and know you can be the expert they turnto when this question comes up in the crowd. I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes, spell check seems to be down.

They are both strong narcotic pain relievers. Morphine is a natural substance. Oxycondone is man made. Morphine can be delivered IV, both are available in extended release form. Oxycodone is the Generic for Oxycontin and come in tablets or capusuls up to 160mg. Hope this helps. Both work well for moderate to severe pain. I have chronic severe pain I have take both medications. I prefer the Oxycodone I don't get as many side effects as I did with morphine. Hope this helps.

Morphine is much stronger- only given intravenously and derivitive of opium- oxycodone or oxycontin is just a strong pain medicine only given orally.

Well, they are all opioids. Vicodin would be the weakest, as it is hydrocodone. Oxycodone is similar but stronger...contains more codeine than vicodin. Morphene is for long term pain control only and shouldn't be used for things such as short term recovery after a surgery..it is a long term use drug for chronic pain, cancer,etc. As for heroine I don;t know alot about it but I would defifnitely stay away from it. All of these drugs can be addictive if you take them longer than prescribed or take too many. People with chronic pain, like myself take these types of medications daily, just to be able to function.

i take oxycodone (percocet ) as long term pain managment program i know how addictive this medication can be and i know that people have over dosed on it but perffer it to vicodin by far it kills the pain and makes it so that i can function during the day .........if someone is looking for a pain medication that works well i would recommend percocet........just be careful because all pain medications are addictive this includes tramadol which is now concidered a narcotic so to all that are recherching these thing's please be careful and know what your getting into before you start on or ask your doctor for a pain medication

oxycodone is generic name for percocet.
hydrocodone is generic for vidcodin (which is weaker than percocet)
moprhine and heroine are both stronger than percocet and vicodin but heroine is the mothership.
all are addictive opioids originating from the poppy seed, cause constipation and euphoric feelings. long term use can cause mood problems due to tolerance and inability in getting the drug.
I hope this answers your question
