Question: What does 7.5 oxycodon compared to 2 mg of hydromorphone? Which is stronger?
Brief Answer:
7.5 mg of oxycodone
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question.
and I understand your concerns but hydromorphone is a more potent analgesic than oxycodone.. 1mg of hydromorphone is equivalent to 2.67 mg of oxycodone.. This means that a 2mg dose of hydromorphone is equivalent to 5.34 mg of oxycodone.. This means that a 7.5 mg of oxycodone will provide a more powerful effect than a 2 mg of hydromorphone.. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
Hope this answers your query.
