for some reason I cant see a date on this question. so I maybe answering a 4 year old question.
I am not a doctor and my advice should not be taken as so. But as a person who has taken Opiate type medications for over 6 years I can confidently say that a 16 year old should have no problems taking .5mg of oxycodone (its actually a very low dosage). was it prescribed by a doctor? If so he is probably taking into consideration all the factors. age (obviously 16), weight, opiate tolerant. I am guessing he has not taken Opiates before because .5mg is a super low dosage most people start out even on 5 mg, are you mistaking and the medication is 5mg? I wasn't aware of a .5mg option, else they are taking it orally via liquid. either way a fully grown 16 year old should have no problems taking .5mg to even 5mg dosage about 3 times a day until opiate tolerate, and then after if they are still in need of medications the doctor will increase as needed.
Hope I helped, and hope I wasnt 4 years late =]p

Difference between oxycodone hcl and oxycodone imm rel?
both of the medications are fast acting, but the oxycodone 30 mg imm rel is IMMEDIATE RELEASE. There will not be a "time release" film on the pill unlike on an OxyContin. The only disadvantage is that you have to make sure you take the meds at the right time, usually every four hours, or however your doctor recommends.
I need To take oxycodone for a tooth problem how long do you need to be off suboxone for the oxycodone to work?
the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.

What is the difference between Oxycontin and oxycodone?
Oxycodone is found in fast-acting opiates such as Percocet(which also contains tylenol), Roxicodone, and is also in Oxycontin. The only difference between oxycodone and Oxycontin is, Oxycontin is time-released. It distributes its oxycodone slowly over a period of 12 hours, as long as the pill is not cut up or smashed. The 'contin' in 'Oxycontin' stands for continuous.
