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.
Re: what's stronger morphine or oxycontin. In terms of what's strongest, there are alot of similarities. The main difference between morphine and oxycontin is the way your body metabolizes the medication. Oxycontin has a longer 1/2 life, so will produce results for a longer period of time than morphine will. IV morphine, for example, will produce immediate and strong results, but your body will metabolize it quickly. Oral morphine won't be as stong, because on first clearance, your liver metabolizes at least half of it, so much of the oral morphine is wasted right off the bat.
