is oxycontin morphine
Re: what's stronger morphine or oxycontin. In terms of what's strongest, there are alot of similarities. The main difference between morphine and oxycontin is the way your body metabolizes the medication. Oxycontin has a longer 1/2 life, so will produce results for a longer period of time than morphine will. IV morphine, for example, will produce immediate and strong results, but your body will metabolize it quickly. Oral morphine won't be as stong, because on first clearance, your liver metabolizes at least half of it, so much of the oral morphine is wasted right off the bat.
