Ms Contin Vs Opana
(Newest replies first)

In my opinion Opana (OXYMORPHONE), is a much better drug than MSCONTIN. It works much more efficiently and is much, much stronger than MSCONTIN. I live with chronic pain MSCONTIN does nothing for it. My mother who is 88 said she rather take percocett. She had double knee replacement yrs ago which resulted in a failed surgery, I have a collaspe lumbar, so I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to pain medication. They should take mscontin out of the gold standard part, put it with the silver.

I agree, the OPANA 40 mg works much much better than the new "OP'S" by far ! HOWEVER, they do not work anywhere near as well as the original OXICONTIN ! My question would be, due to purdue loosing all this revenue, what are the chances of them coming back with the original "OC'S" ?

Both the Oxymorphone in the Opana and the Oxycodone in the Percocet are known to be stronger and more potent than Morphine, so it makes sense that they may help some people more than Morphine does.

However, what works well for any given person can differ, so that does have to be taken under consideration, when a narcotic pain medication is being prescribed.
