Norco is Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. Oxycodone could be the time released form, mine are prescribed Percocet, but they are filled Endocet, which are Oxycodone with Acetaminophen. They have less acetaminophen, but the narcotic is stronger in my opinion. Not exactly sure about labeled Oxycodone. Sure someone else with more knowledge will answer you soon.

Hey lorimarlin,
Norco contain the medicines hydrocodone and acetominophen while the oxycodone is the medicine oxycodone and possibly acetominophen depending on the formula you have. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are very similar except that oxycodone is considered a stronger pain med than the hydrocodone. Percocet is oxycodone with acetominophen.
So to answer your question the oxycodone is consider a stronger pain med than the Norco.
Hope this helps,
Laurie

thank you laurieshay, i was told by some one else that it was perhaps same as a perc, well then what a difference he made... ha percs have never really help. i dont think there is any help. I either get stuff too strong and sleep or not and so hyper i hurt myself further. sadly im allergic to all the antiinflams so i am stuck with this norco or dialaude? all others swell my throat or make me halucinate. and they say age with grace... who is this grace anyway???
Sorry just trying to smile a bit in time of pain. thank you for your help... i do appreciate. enjoy the nice weather. Lori

well i try the pill last night and seemed to kick the pain in like 20 minutes best and lasted a whoppin2 maybe 3 hours i proced thru my day at the dose my doc says every 4 to 6 as need, however i woke today screaming headach.. i remember the roxy did the same. i am on prednisone for headaches and they want to wein me however i wont let them its been at least 10 yrs at the 10mg a day morning only, and the last 2 attempts were not good adrenial crisis and i was actually talking backwards it seemed, i dont want to go thru this again, dont these damn doctors want us well always messin up what works, my last doc abruptly took me off all 8-9 meds and has since sent me 4 months almost later a note to come see her, i dont think so she makes a mistake like that and wants me back, doubt, and i only saw her 1 time in 1 1/2 yrs, but the towns addiction fell into me i was red flagged at every place i had to go outta state, i since explained to new doc, now she wants to see me again...
well thank you for your time, i have looked up and it appears its a symptom of the pill but will it be and or is an allergic thing, gawd, this isnt medicine it practice, i guess thats a true statment... thank you even the chat makes me feel better... lori
