Oxycodone Acetaminophen IS Oxycodone-Hydrochloride, but combined with Acetaminophen. (Tylenol) The only difference is that the Oxycodone-Hcl is pressed into a tablet with Acetaminophen. They are NOT chemically combined, but only "mixed" together.
Oxycodone-Hydrochloride, or Oxycodone-Hcl, is an slightly acidic salt form of the opiate painkiller oxycodone. Oxycodone-Hcl is the form that almost every oxycodone tablet is found in. It is a crystalline salt form of the drug, and is used for oral (by mouth) administration.
Acetaminophen is a non-narcotic analgesic pain killer, which is found in many different over-the-counter (OTC) medications like Tylenol. Acetaminophen is often combined with low-strength narcotic opiate/opioid painkillers such as Lortab, Percocet, Endocet, ect. It is usually added to these medications to add to the pain relieving effects, and to discourage recreational drug abuse. In high doses, acetaminophen is highly toxic to the liver and can cause liver damage or failure.
Due to this, taking large doses of such combination medications is VERY dangerous and potentially fatal. If one insists upon abusing such drugs, there are methods to separate the acetaminophen from the oxycodone-hcl, but I will not discuss this because I do NOT condone drug abuse. On most prescription bottles for these combination medications (oxycodone-hcl with acetaminophen), you will see the letters APAP. This indicates the presence of acetaminophen in the medication. Acetaminophen is also commonly referred to as Paracetemol.
