Acetaminophen 3 contains codeine.
OxycodoneAPA contains oxycodone.
Codeine and oxycodone are in the same family of drugs known as opioids. Therefore they have very similar actions and side effects.
In most people, oxycodone 5mg would have more of a pain relieving effect (meaning it is stronger) than codeine 30mg.
Tylenol 3 has codeine, oxycodone is actually Percocet, which is a different and stronger narcotic.
It's a pretty low dose of codeine in the Tylenol 3's. But no difference besides that. Be careful taking these though since they do contain acetaminophen..it can cause liver damage in higher doses. It's not the same as taking a lortab.
Edit: oxycodone is the generic for codeine.
Edit: I'm sorry....I am wrong there...oxycodone is NOT generic for codeine...it's Hydrocodone...sorry....was confused.
Oxycodone is not codeine. It is a very effective Schedule 2 analgesic. Tylenol 3 with codeine is also quite effective. It's a Schedule 3 medication and much easier to get a prescription for.
Stop popping pills.
The Oxycodone APA is the same narcotic as found in Oxcycotin ( a powerful pain killer for cancer patiance ) . The Oxycodone is many times more powerful then codeine. The Acetaminophen 3 is generic for Tylenol #3, 30 mg of codeine and Tylenol. BE AWARE that Oxycodone is a CLASS II controlled drug. If it was not prescribe for you you can go to jail on federal charges.
