Hi

>Dose for dose morphine is stronger than oxycontin

Morphine and oxycodone are similar in potency when given by injection. Oxycodone is more potent orally.

>morphine effects breathing more than many
opioids

Morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone and the other potent mu agonist injectable opioids all appear to affect breathing to essentially the same extent when given at equianalgesic doses.
