what is the difference between a morphine 30, dilauded 8, tylonal 3 or 4 and vicodan 550? I know what the difference between tylonal 3 and 4 is compared to each other, same with vicodan 550 and 750. What are the equivalent with the others. Which one is stronger and what is the difference between morphine and dilauded (sorry about the spelling [:I]). I had a hard time with morphine when I was in the hospital so they switched me to dilauded. Any info would be great.
Thanks

Dilaudid is Hydromorphone,

Morphine of course, is just straight Morphine.

Tylenol 3&4 contain Acetaminophen and Codeine.

Vicodin is Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone.

So they all differ in the active narcotic ingredient. Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is the strongest on this list, and of course different ones work better for different people.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~

I think I have this straight , but not certain:

Using codeine as a standard, it works out like this:

Tylenol 3 = 30 mg of codeine
Tylenol 4 = 60 mg of codeine
Vicodin (5mg) equiv 30 mg of codeine
Vicodin ES (7.5mg) equiv 45 mg of codeine
Vicodin HP (10 mg) equiv 60 mg of codeine
30 mg Morphine equiv 300 mg of codeine
8 mg Dialudid equiv 400 mg of codeine




Based on:
Hydrocodone 6x codeine
Morphine 10x Codeine
Oxycodone 1.5x Morphine (15x codeine)* (Controversial)
Hydromorphone 5x Morphine (50x codeine)

I might not always be right, but I'm never wrong.
