Is oxycodone a derivative of codeine?

Oxycodone is a synthetic form of codeine, an opiod analgesic (pain reliever). This means it was created in a lab, and although oxycodone's chemical name is derived from codeine and the chemical structures are very similar, they are a little different in that they act on different receptors in the body. One may produce fewer adverse reactions than the other, depending on the person, but degree of pain relief is similar. Oxycodone is often mixed with acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, giving it the potential to cause liver damage in those who are susceptible, or when consumed with alcohol.

What does oxycodine do to you?

OxyContin is something that your doctor might prescribe if you are in pain. This is a controlled substance and should not ever be taken by anyone else except the person in which it is prescribed to.

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.

Is oxycodone stronger than Darvocet?

Oxycodone vs oxycodone with acetaminophine are essentially the same thing. The narcotic in both medications is the oxycodone, the only difference between the two is the addition of Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). The addition of Tylenol does not necessarily make the combo drug more powerful than the straight oxycodone, but is an adjunctive therapy so to speak. The Tylenol can enhance the pain relief of the oxycodone by working with the oxycodone at pain receptors. So to answer the question, no - oxycodone is not stronger than oxycodone acetaminophen combo.

Does oxycodone thin your blood?

I am pretty positive that oxycodone, or any other opiate for that matter, acts as a blood thinner. That would be aspirin

There is no aspirin in oxycodone, tylenol is the other pain reliever, and most Drs prescribe the pain medication with 325 mg of tylenol.

Can taking Percocet harm your baby?

absolutely! Your baby can be born with symtoms similar to withdrawl. I know some individuals have no other way around this to deal with their chronic pain but others are just drug abusers that are not willing to stop right up until the birth of their newborn. That baby will also go through the aweful withdrawl like loose stools, stomach problems and fits, possible seizures and slower heart rates.

Can you drink beer while taking oxycodone?

Oxycodone depresses your central nervous system and alcohol is also a CNS depressant. Taking both in small doses might be okay for the majority.

However, if you take too much, you will become drowsy, fall asleep, and you may stop breathing, which of course results in suffocation and death.

Alcohol has no effect on pain, but it increases the other CNS effects of oxycodone (euphoria, drowsiness, dizziness).

Drinking alcohol with oxycodone increases the risk of overdose and death related to narcotics.

Can you take oxycodone while breastfeeding?

Oxycontin, much like many medications, is excreted into breastmilk, so the child would be getting a small amount of the drug. This may cause the child to have many different effects from the medication - the most likely, in the case of Oxycontin, is drowsiness and poor feeding. Constipation may also occur.

The most dangerous and feared, is respiratory depression or arrest, resulting in breathing difficulties or death.

Does vicodin and hydrocodone show up the same in urine?

Yes, a positive is a positive no matter what mg you have taken. If you are being tested and you have a legal prescription, it will not count against you as long as you can prove it to the person giving you the drug test.

Is oxycodone more addictive than morphine?

Any chemical, if you take too much of it, is dangerous and possibly lethal.

Drinking too much water too quickly can upset electrolyte balance in the brain, nerves & heart. This can easily lead to seizures, heart arrhythmia, unconsciousness and even death. Its called water intoxication.

So, not surprisingly, a powerful opiate like oxycodone can be dangerous in doses even slightly above those recommended by one's doctor. The main dangerous is respiratory depression. Typically, a person breathes about 12-15 times a minute when at rest. Under the influence of opiates, the respiratory drive is diminished (reduced). As the dose increases, the level of respiratory depression increases as well. If one takes too much, then respiratory depression increases to a point where there's not enough oxygen reaching the brain and heart. This can cause further respiratory depression making things even worse. If not treated, this can lead to hypoxia and even death.

Are there any legal drugs that would make you test positive for oxycodone?

Can you take Cymbalta Valium and oxycodone together?

Yes, you can but you will want to go lower on each drug on your regular dosage level. If you haven't had either, I would not recommend this or start VERY LOW.


If you are prescribed both medications, talk to your pharmacist or physician before taking both medications at the same time. It may be wise to ensure there is someone near by who can check on you periodically.

Yes, painkillers can be mixed with sleeping pills, however, mixing two downers together can produce other side effects such as nausea dizziness and heavy sedation. if painkillers arent enough to put you to sleep, try taking a benadryl or a swig of NyQuil. i have never tested prescription pain killers with prescription sleep aids.

Can you buy Oxycontin without a prescription?

In the fabulous US of A, with a valid prescription, yes. Don't trust the webpages that make it seem like you can without a prescription. Although some do ship the drug, it is highly illegal and therefore discouraged. Additionally this is the sale of choice for many online scam artists who will just take your money and run. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

-----

Oxycontin is a time-released formulation of Oxycodone. In the US any Class II controlled prescription drug containing Oxycodone, including Oxycontin, is prohibited from shipment to the consumer via mail order. The ONLY legal way to buy this medication (unless you are a wholesaler with proper DEA license and paperwork) is with a legit prescription and directly obtained from local and licensed pharmacy in the state where you reside.

When ordering Oxycontin from online pharmacies in foreign countries the best thing that can happen to you is that you won't receive their product. US law on the illegal diversion and possession of Oxycontin can cause considerable trouble to those who do not comply. Websites that discuss the availability of prescription drugs such as FindRxOnline.com will testify of the above and of the likely development of addiction to this and other controlled narcotic substances with a legit medical use. It is simply not worth risking your freedom for... Be Safe! ~ Teresita Tejada, FindRxOnline.com

How much oxycodone is safe to take?

The safe dosage of oxycodone is strongly dependent upon tolerance and to a lesser extent individual biochemistry. A common starting dose of oxycodone for pain management is 5mg every six hours. Individuals who have taken opioids for long periods of time can take hundreds of milligrams per day and still be completely functional, although these doses could easily kill an opioid naive person. The general rule of opioid dosing is start low and gradually titrate the dose upwards. Finally, it is very important that this medication is not mixed with other opioids or depressants, as these combinations can vastly lower the safe dose and increase the risk of overdose.

What is in oxycotton?

Oxycontin is used for the treatment of Moderate to severe pain.

Can you sniff the reformulated Oxycontin?

You can, but don't expect a whole lot to happen. First of all, percocets are a mix of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Snorting acetaminophen will block the mucous membranes of your nose, preventing most of the oxycodone from getting through. Second of all, even if you filter out the acetaminophen (a tedious process), oxycodone's bioavailability when snorted is half of when it's taken orally, meaning you have to snort almost double of what you would eat orally to feel the same.

Can you take oxycodone if it is expired?

It depends!

Some medications' chemicals change over time and may become poisonous, so it is a bad idea to take these medications, of course.

Other medications stay in fine shape and remain efficacious for a long time after the expiration

date.

The problem is that there is no real good way to tell which is in the first category and which is in the second. Also, many environmental factors affect the changes in the chemicals. So some medication with a relatively short expiration may last very long after the expiration date and be fine, while another medication with a relatively long expiration period, deteriorates rapidly and becomes trash.

So, the best way to deal with expired medications is to chuck them and throw them away. It is safer!!!

Also, when you get a prescription from your doctor, ask that the doctor prescribes only as much as you need, not more "for stocking up!" "Stocking up" is a terrible idea and can be dangerous, see above!

When yo take the meds, take them AS PRESCRIBED. So if the doctor told you to take the meds until they run out, DO THAT. Just because you feel great after three pills, may not mean you are rid of the problem. The proper regimen also prevents you from having a stock of unused medicines.
