Oxycodone and morphine belong to the same class or family of drugs but they are not the same. Similar but there are differences between them. There are site differences in the mode of action and metabolism They belong to the class of drugs called opiates or opioids. They would have similar mode of actions , risks and effects but they are not the same drug. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
