Drug Facts

OxyContin is the brand name for the time-release tablet form of oxycondon, an opium derivative similar to codeine but more powerful and more likely to be addictive.

OxyContin has no limit to its effectiveness. Other analgesics, like aspirin or acetaminophen, have a threshold to their effectiveness.

Oxycontin abusers remove the sustained-release coating to get a rush of euphoria similar to heroin. They chew the tabs...crush them for snorting...or boil the powder for injection.

OxyContin, introduced in December 1995, is a time-released form of the opium derivative oxycodone.
