Hello, Cat! How are you?

No, it is half the dosage, you'd need to double it to be equivalent to the other dosage, but you should not take more than you doctor has prescribed.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
