Is 5-325mg of Percocet stronger than 500 mg of Vicodin? Can someone explain it to me?! :) thanks.?

Answer 1

percocets are considered stronger than vicodins to begin with... you wouldn't necessarily need to take 5-325 mg percocets to get the same affect as taking one 500 mg vicodin.

Answer 2

pain is relative -we all feel it differently.  narcs just cover the sense of pain.  some of don't need anything that strong.  thank chemists for creating these meds to offer you variety.

Answer 3

you mean 5mg of Vicodin. The 500 is just the acetaminophen content. To answer the question the percocet would be stronger.

Answer 4

Vicodin is a class 3 narcotic, with hydrocodone. Percocet is a class 2 narcotic with oxycodone, which is a much stronger narcotic derivative.  A normal adult dosage of Percocet is 1 of the 5mg/325mg or one 5mg/500mg Vicodin.  The percocet in this case has 325mg of (tylenol), and the Vicodin has twice as much.

Answer 5

Vicodin is hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Percocet is oxycodone and acetaminophen. The pills you're comparing contain 325 and 500 mg of acetaminophen, respectively. The Percocet contains 5 mg of oxycodone, and the amount of hydrocodone you didn't list, but if it's 5 mg, then the Percocet will be stronger, oxycodone being somewhat more potent than hydrocodone. 5, 7.5, and 10 mg strengths of hydrocodone are all available in Vicodin.
