YES .. you can cut it in half, but question should be, 'if I cut a 30 mg oxycodone in half, will each half have the same amount of oxycodone'. This is what I'm told to do with my 30 mg and I don't trust that each half is equal in dose. My VA doctor prescribes the 5 mg but the pharmacy changes it to 30 mg and tells me to cut them in half. Have complained, written letters, and it gets corrected 'once' and then back tot he 30's. They did supply a pill splitter but what a pain in the ass to cut these little pills. The 30's are the same size as the 5's.
If the pill has a splitting line, then it is certified to be cut in half and there will be about half the does remaining in each half. If there is no splitting line, there you are correct to be uncertain about the distribution of the active ingredient within the pill.
However, half of 30 is 15, not 5 so, more importantly, if you doctor is prescribing 5mg pills, and the pharmacist is filling with 30mg pills, then the pharmacist is guilty of malfeasance and needs to lose his or her license. It sounds like you need to contact your local Attorney General's office and/or the FDA. Also, get your doctor involved.

What is the street value for oxycodone hcl 30 milligram?
Does anyone know the answer to this question
Is oxycodone hcl 30 mg tablets the same as Roxicodone 30 mg tablets?
yes
Is oxycodone hcl 30 mg stronger than oxycodone apap 10-325?
The Oxycodone 30 IR have approximately 28.936 MG of Oxycodone. The Percocet 10/325 have apporximately 8.6 MG of Oxycodone. So yes, the 30MG Oxy IR are way more stronger. Plus the Acetaminophen in Percocet really lowers the dosage of the 8.6MG you're already getting. hcl means it is straight oxycodone with nothing else like tylonal added. apap means it has tylonal in the mix and also 30mgs is 3 times stronger than 10mgs i think you know that LOL. Oxycodone hcl 30 mg, is an immediate release pain reliever, primarily designed for treatment of chronic pain, usually prescribed as a supplement to extended release pain relievers. The hcl is an abbreviation for hydrochloride which is the medium of suspension of the oxycodone. Oxycodone apap 10-325 is a mixture of oxycodone hcl and what the apap stands for acetiminophen. If you have chronic pain and require a high dose of a narcotic pain reliever you will generally not be prescribed this kind of medication since overtime the acetiminophen can reak havoc on your liver. This is however, a nice version of the the oxycodone apap mixture since it is the lowest dose of apap you can get in an oxycodone pill.
What is the difference between the pain med Ic Oxycodone HCL narcotic analgesic and Ic Oxycodone HCL non-narcotic analgesic?
Everything. They're not even approximately related. Hydrocodone is a drug molecule which resembles codeine in its structure. Hydrochloride is HCl. It's a little complicated to explain if you're not a chemist, but many pharmaceutically active compounds are oily liquids in their native state. This is inconvenient for things like making pills, but there's a solution: convert them to the hydrochloride salt, which is usually a crystalline solid.

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.
