Answer

Opana (oxymorphone) is a very potent semi-synthetic opioid analgesic derived from morphine. It has an average half-life of 7-9hrs although it may be more or less in some people.

Opana comes in two formulations, Opana and Opana ER (oxymorphone extended-release). Opana ER is taken every 12hrs and is used for moderate-severe chronic pain requiring the use of an opioid long-term. It is not to be used for people with acute pain or to be taken as needed. Like most extended release opioids including OxyContin (oxycodone controlled-release), MS Contin (morphine sulfate controlled-release), and Kadian (morphine sulfate extended-release) Opana ER is taken twice daily (every 12hrs) to provide continuous around the clock pain control.

Taking Opana ER once daily is not appropriate and may aggravate problems, cause significantly more break through pain, insomnia, and in people who are physically dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal with only one dose. Please note that physical dependency alone is not addiction, which is a behaviour. However physical dependency does commonly occur in opioid addicts.

Opana ER is available in a wide range of doses, 5,7.5,10,15,20,30, and 40 mg tablets. Regular Opana is only available in 5 and 10 mg tablets. When using regular Opana it lasts between 4-6hrs.

Avinza (morphine sulfate extended-release) is the only medication that provides 24hr relief. Additionally Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal), a patch applied to the skin, provides pain relief for 74hrs.

What does opana show in a urine test?

Opana will show up in your system on drug tests. I snorted one on Friday and failed a test on Tuesday for Oxycontin. Opana is a oxymorphone. It typically takes 4 days instead of the typically 3 that Oxycontin take because it is 24 extended release. Therefore, it will show up for 4 days the example above shows.
