Greek mythology also includes a number of monsters and strange creatures such as the one-eyed Cyclops in the Odysseus story, a gigantic boar in the fabled Kalydonian hunt, sphinxes, giant snakes, fire-breathing bulls and more.
Best Answer: No they aren't the same. I was prescribed Oxycontin and Oxycodone because I have lung cancer. The Oxycontin was taken twice a day every day, and the Oxycodone was taken whenever I had breakthrough pain in between. The doctor switched me to Morphine Sulfate because the Oxy's weren't working that great.
In fact, 1 mg of hydromorphone is equivalent to 2.67 mg of oxycodone. This means that hydromorphone is nearly 2.5 times stronger than oxycodone. When compared to morphine, hydromorphone is 5 times more potent, while oxycodone is only 1.5 times more potent. The way the two drugs are derived is also different.
