Which meds is stronger?!


Question:

Which meds is stronger?

Codeine or Dextro-propoxyphene? Is it stronger than hydrocodene?


Answers:

They are both used to treat mild to moderate pain. Dextro-propoxyphene in it's PURE form is also used to treat opioid addiction. While it can help with the physical symptoms of withdrawal it does little for the mental cravings which may lead to patients taking too much of the combined with acetaminophen form and causing adverse effects on the liver. Codeine has acetaminophen in it and taking too much can cause adverse effects on the liver as well. Hydrocodene is much stronger than both.
