Difference between Norco and Vicodin (hydrocodone)

[Csue]

Hi..
I would like to know the difference between your common 500mg Vocodin (hydrocodone) and Norco. Just what is in Vicodin and what is in Norco? Which one is stronger?

What the diffrence is the amount of tylenol and hydrocodne. The vicoden comes in 5/500 and 7.5/500 strenght. The norcos have less tylenol in them, meaning you can take more. I think they come in 7.5/325 and 10/325. So you COULD safely take 3 pills at a time. Personaly, I rather have the 5/500 vicodens because they seem to help my back pain more. IMO...

To clarify, if I may,

They both contain the exact same drug mixture, just in different proportions.

The way to tell which would be more pain relief would be to look at the actual numbers after the drug name. The first number is the amount of hydrocodone (the narcotic part) and the second number is the amount of acetaminophin (tylenol). That's the way to compare them.
