At this point, the only known side effect of oxycodone on a fetus is the potential for withdrawal once the baby is born. There is a chance of respiratory depression in the baby as well. Because there have been no controlled studies of this drug on pregnant women, the exact side effects are unknown. The only definitive source I could find for this topic was Mosby's drug reference pages; they state that there have been no side effects detected in animal-fetus studies (mainly on pregnant lambs). They do, however, go on to say that withdrawal and respiratory depression are possible. If you must use this medication while pregnant, please be responsible with it. Take it only when you need it and do not let yourself become abusive of it. Talk to your doctor about it and come to a decision together. Most MDs will base their decision on if the benefits of the drug for the mother will outweigh any risk to the fetus.

What is stronger Oxycontin or oxycodone?

Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.

Does green tea clean your system from oxycodone?

Green tea is known to be an effective antioxidant that also stimulates and improves digestion. However, for it to be used as a cleansing material to rid of your body of oxycodone is still under debate. Oxycodone is a lab-produced medicine, which has many known side effects. I do think for it to be able to clean your system, you have to stop taking the oxycodone. Drinking green tea for cleaning your system will be put to naught if a person insist on consuming foods or medicine that are proven to have negative effects on the body.
