Oscillococcinum is A. barbaritae 200c.
That is its potency.

K designations on a vial delineate that a Korsokoff potentizing machine was used in the serial dilution/succussion process. Finke machines are also used to prepare remedies, with a slight difference from the K machines. These designations pertain to the device used to prepare the remedy, not to the actual potency scale used or the number of dilutions and succussion. "H" denotes Hahnemannian, and is yet another preparation method with a slight variation on how each vial is diluted and succussed.

These are all different from the D or X dilution scale, and the C dilution scale.

So: 200CH is the same as 200C or 200K; 200X is the same as 200D.

However the first set is not interchangeable with the second set because different dilution scales are used.

Oscillococcinum is the only one of these remedy preparations which is actually a single remedy (the anas barbaritae 200c). All the other
"same thing as" oscillococcinums are not the same thing at all: they are your standard polypharmacy combination drugs, and they are not the same product at all.
