Yes. That is an outrageous amount, and my rationale here is that a dosage that high would send any normal person into respiratory depression and CNS failure before it would do them any good. You would probably want to clarify with your doctor that he really wanted you to take 760mg in 24 hours.

If you take hydrocodone when can you take oxcontin?

Hydrocodone is a fast-acting pain reliever for mild/severe pain that is often prescribed to take as needed for pain not surpassing a certain amount over a period of time, such as no more than one every 4-6 hours. Oxycontin is a time-released pain reliever for severe/chronic pain that is prescribed at certain intervals of time, such as every 8 hours. You take Oxycontin at given, prescribed intervals due to the time release.

Will norco and percocet show up the same?

Yes. They are chemically identical. The only difference is that OxyContin has been altered to release its active ingredient, oxycodone, over a period of time instead of all at once. WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to crush OxyContin tablets, especially at higher doses. Take them whole, take only doses prescribed for you and don't mess with OxyContin.

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.


How many Oxycontin can you take in a 24 hour period?

First, you should only take these tablets as your doctor has prescribed - this is a very dangerous drug, and taking it without a prescription or taking it however you want can kill you! Follow directions your doctor gave you.However, if you insist on risking your life by taking something not prescribed to you, you should not take more than one every 6 hours, which is four tablets daily.


Does Oxycontin show up as an opiate on a 5 panel?

yes. Oxcontin wil show up depending on the lenght of time it was taken. If it is Oxycontin er it will despense the first amount at a rate of 50 to 60 percent within the first hr. to hr. and a half. then 6 percent through out a 24 hr. period. If you havent taken it for everyday for along period of time it will show up for approximately 1 to three days. It wil show up on a 5 panel test as an opitate.


How does a urine drug screen tell the difference between Oxcycontin and oxcycodone?

Oxycontin is just a time release version of oxycodone. I take oxycodone 15mg, which is fast acting, you can get Oxycontin in 60 or 80mg but it is made to work over a longer time period, some people get into trouble with Oxycontin because they break time release by chewing it, this is very dangerous to put that much oxycodone in your system at once. The only way a test would detect the "difference" is by the amount in your system but not the drug. If you chew up an Oxycontin 60 it will show up the same as if you took 4 oxycodone 15mg. It's the same drug, just different concentrations.
