Hello, Vickie! How are you?

Oxycontin is stronger than Morphine by one and a half times.

Thus, if you were taking 30mgs of Oxycontin, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine to be equivalent.

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?
