Greek mythology also includes a number of monsters and strange creatures such as the one-eyed Cyclops in the Odysseus story, a gigantic boar in the fabled Kalydonian hunt, sphinxes, giant snakes, fire-breathing bulls and more.
Best Answer: No they aren't the same. I was prescribed Oxycontin and Oxycodone because I have lung cancer. The Oxycontin was taken twice a day every day, and the Oxycodone was taken whenever I had breakthrough pain in between. The doctor switched me to Morphine Sulfate because the Oxy's weren't working that great.
Oxycontin extended release is about twice as strong as morphine extended release tablets. The medical literature says the ration is 2:1 oxy to morphine. Some literature says its 1.5:1 and other places list 2.5 to one. When my doc just switched me over he's using the lower ratio to start with. I've been on 80mg of oxy/day and he's moving me to 120mg of morphine/day. Both are extended release.
