Hello, Brenda! How are you?

Yes, they are the same, the acetate just designates the specific chemical salt that the medication was derived from, so if you look at various FDA and NIH listings, you'll see many medications listed as Oxycodone Hydrochloride, Losartan Potassium, Morphine Sulfate, and etc.

The FDA lists typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, insomnia, and nervousness.

Is there anything else I can help with?
