this means that the prescription is a combination of two different drugs, the first one containing 10 mg of the first drug and 500 mg of the second drug. the second prescription you speak about has 5 mg of the first drug and 500 mg of the second drug. I am assuming you are talking about hydrocodone/acetamenophin here because that is a common concentration for that combo product. Assuming both prescriptions have the same 2 active ingredients, the first one would be "stronger"

The first number (the 10 or the 50) is the number of mg of the narcotic, and the 500 is the mg of tylenol.

10mg/500mg has twice of the active ingredient than 5mg/500mg
