Roxys have the same main ingredients as Oxycontin; Oxycodone. An opiate which is a very strong pain killer prescribed by doctors. Roxy's dont have the time release like oxys, so they are faster working. -jc The view, fla.
They are called roxicodone not roxicontin.

Will taking oxycodone pass a urine test screening for opana?
Oxymorphone(Opana) is metabolized in the liver to 6-hydroxyoxymorphone and oxymorphone-3-glucuronide. Oxycodone is metabolized to α and β oxycodol; oxymorphone, then α and β oxymorphol and noroxymorphone; and noroxycodone, then α and β noroxycodol and noroxymorphone (N-desmethyloxycodone).[2] (14-Hydroxydihydrocodeine that in turn becomes 14-Hydroxydihydromorphine) As you can see both drugs metabolize into many different variations. When it comes down to an ordinary drug test, all these variations can be tested for and distuinguished from eachother, but the test results itself may just show positive for Opiates, or it may display the metabolites as well, indicating both Oxymorphone and Oxycodone use.
What does Oxycontin metabolize into?
If your wondering what it will show up on a drug test here is what I know! I was in a program that tested my urine once a week. I was being tested by a normal five panel dip stick, meth, coc, THC, opi, Benz, and when i was being tested i was passing drug test while on Oxycontin. It wasn't until the program director figured out that Oxycontin didn't show up on a drug test that he had to special order "oxy" test strips. And the same is for percocet also. So I hope that helps answer your question a little. HXP It metabolizes into noroxycodone and oxymorphone.
What does Oxycontin show up as on drug test?
Oxycodone metabolizes into oxymorphone. Of all the synthetic opioids, oxycodone is the most difficult to detect, especially at small doses regardless of the advertising propaganda of the labs.
Does smoking oxycodone show up on a drug test?
Yes. Oxycodone is prescribed for the relief of moderate to high pain under the well-known pharmaceutical trade names of OxyContin®, Tylox®, Percodan® and Percocet®. While Tylox, Percodan and Percocet contain only small doses of oxycodone hydrochloride combined with other analgesics such as acetaminophen or aspirin, OxyContin consists solely of oxycodone hydrochloride in a time-release form. While classified as an Opiate, the chemical structure and metabolite of Oxycodone requires a separate Opiate test with a substantially higher sensitivity detection level than that of the standard Opiate drug test. Consequently, a positive test result will not only confirm Oxycodone but other opiates as well. In this regard the Oxycodone test is not Oxycodone specific but opiate specific, being able to detect Oxycodone/opiate use at the higher sensitivity level required while the 2000 ng/ml sensitivity level of the standard opiate test would not detect Oxycodone. Oxycodone is known to metabolize by demethylation into oxymorphone and noroxycodone. In a 24-hour urine, 33-61% of a single, 5mg oral dose is excreted with the primary constituents being unchanged drug (13-19%), conjugated drug (7-29%) and conjugated oxymorphone (13-14%)1. The window of detection for oxycodone in urine is expected to be similar to that of other opioids such as morphine. Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid with a structural similarity to codeine. The drug is manufactured by modifying thebaine, an alkaloid found in the opium poppy. Oxycodone, like all opiate agonists, provides pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly directly in the affected tissues.
If you snort oxycodone how long is it detectable in urine screens?
2-4 days...please continue readingMetabolism and EliminationA high portion of oxycodone is N-dealkylated to noroxycodone during first-pass metabolism.Oxymorphone, is formed by the O-demethylation of oxycodone. The metabolism of oxycodoneto oxymorphone is catalyzed by CYP2D6. Free and conjugated noroxycodone, free andconjugated oxycodone, and oxymorphone are excreted in human urine following a single oraldose of oxycodone. Approximately 8% to 14% of the dose is excreted as free oxycodone over 24hours after administration. Following a single, oral dose of oxycodone, the mean ± SDelimination half-life is 3.51 ± 1.43 hours.Acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver via cytochrome P450 microsomal enzyme. About80% to 85% of the acetaminophen in the body is conjugated principally with glucuronic acid andto a lesser extent with sulfuric acid and cysteine. After hepatic conjugation, 90% to 100% of thedrug is recovered in the urine within the first day.About 4% of acetaminophen is metabolized via cytochrome P450 oxidase to a toxic metabolitewhich is further detoxified by conjugation with glutathione, present in a fixed amount. It isbelieved that the toxic metabolite NAPQI (N acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, Nacetylimidoquinone)is responsible for liver necrosis. High doses of acetaminophen may depletethe glutathione stores so that inactivation of the toxic metabolite is decreased. At high doses, thecapacity of metabolic pathways for conjugation with glucuronic acid and sulfuric acid may beexceeded, resulting in increased metabolism of acetaminophen by alternate pathways.Absorption and Distribution - The mean absolute oral bioavailability of oxycodone in cancerpatients was reported to be about 87%. Oxycodone has been shown to be 45% bound to humanplasma proteins in vitro. The volume of distribution after intravenous administration is211.9 ± 186.6 L.Absorption of acetaminophen is rapid and almost complete from the GI tract after oraladministration. With overdosage, absorption is complete in 4 hours. Acetaminophen is relativelyuniformly distributed throughout most body fluids. Binding of the drug to plasma proteins isOxycodone and Acetaminophen Tablets USP Page 3 of 165 mg*/325, 7.5 mg*/325 mg, 7.5 mg*/500 mg Prescribing Informationand 10 mg*/325 mgvariable; only 20% to 50% may be bound at the concentrations encountered during acuteintoxication.Laboratory TestsAlthough oxycodone may cross-react with some drug urine tests, no available studies were foundwhich determined the duration of detectability of oxycodone in urine drug screens. However,based on pharmacokinetic data, the approximate duration of detectability for a single dose ofoxycodone is roughly estimated to be one to two days following drug exposure.Urine testing for opiates may be performed to determine illicit drug use and for medical reasonssuch as evaluation of patients with altered states of consciousness or monitoring efficacy of drugrehabilitation efforts. The preliminary identification of opiates in urine involves the use of animmunoassay screening and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Gas chromatography/massspectrometry (GC/MS) may be utilized as a third-stage identification step in the medicalinvestigational sequence for opiate testing after immunoassay and TLC. The identities of 6-ketoopiates (e.g., oxycodone) can further be differentiated by the analysis of their methoximetrimethylsilyl(MO-TMS) derivative.Interactions with Alcohol and Drugs of AbuseOxycodone may be expected to have additive effects when used in conjunction with alcohol,other opioids, or illicit drugs that cause central nervous system depression.OVERDOSAGESigns and SymptomsSerious overdose with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets is characterized by signs andsymptoms of opioid and acetaminophen overdose. Oxycodone overdosage can be manifested byrespiratory depression (a decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume, Cheyne-Stokesrespiration, cyanosis), extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscleflaccidity, cold and clammy skin, pupillary constriction (pupils may be dilated in the setting ofhypoxia), and sometimes bradycardia and hypotension. In severe overdosage, apnea, circulatorycollapse, cardiac arrest and death may occur.In acute acetaminophen overdosage, dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is themost serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necrosis, hypoglycemic coma and thrombocytopeniamay also occur.In adults, hepatic toxicity has rarely been reported with acute overdoses of less than 10grams and fatalities with less than 15 grams. Plasma acetaminophen levels > 300 mcg/mL at4 hours post-ingestion were associated with hepatic damage in 90% of patients; minimalhepatic damage is anticipated if plasma levels at 4 hours are < 120 mcg/mL or < 30 mcg/mLat 12 hours after ingestion.Importantly, young children seem to be more resistant than adults to the hepatotoxic effect of anacetaminophen overdose. Despite this, the measures outlined below should be initiated in anyadult or child suspected of having ingested an acetaminophen overdose.Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may include: nausea, vomiting,diaphoresis and general malaise. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not beapparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion.
