Opiate prefixes, oxy*, hydro*?

What do the prefixes mean? For example you have normal codeine, but also oxycodeine, hydrocodeine and dihydrocodeine

Same applies for *morphine prefixes.

How do they compare?

Re: Opiate prefixes, oxy*, hydro*?

the name is derived from its chemical structure. like hydromorphone. its is the hydrogenated ketone derivative of morphine. ketones are given the prefix ONE and the hydro is from the hydrogentation. idk alt more than that about the complexities of jsut how its structure was altered.
