What Is The Difference Between

Posted by galkeepinon on November 8, 2003, at 23:42:08

....Vicodin and Acetaminophen with Codeine #3?
Are they both narcotics?
What makes hydrocodone and codeine different?
Hmmmmmmmm
I'm stumped...

They simply have different, though similiar, chemical structures and thus different binding affinity and potency. Hydrocodone is a stronger opioid than codeine.

Well, "handle with care" (recalling your previous threads about Vicodin). If you "like" one you will probably like the others in a similar way.
Good luck!
