ABOUT OXYCONTIN

OxyContin tablets are a controlled-release oral formulation of oxycodone hydrochloride, intended to manage moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock analgesic is needed for an extended period of time. Taking broken, chewed, or crushed pills leads to rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose. Abuse of the crushed tablet poses a hazard of overdose and death. Risk is increased with abuse of alcohol and other substances.

ABUSE AND ADDICTION

Most OxyContin related deaths are attributed to ingesting substantial quantities of OxyContin or ingesting it along with another depressant of the central nervous system such as alcohol. Tolerance and physical dependence occurs after several months of use, with larger doses required to achieve the same effect.

OxyContin-seeking tactics include:
• Emergency calls or visits near the end of office hours
• Refusal to undergo appropriate exams, testing or referral
• Repeated loss of prescriptions
• Tampering with prescriptions and reluctance to provide prior medical records or contact info for other treating physicians.
• “Doctor shopping” to obtain additional prescriptions

OxyContin has an effect similar to morphine and heroin, and appeals to the same abuse community. In some areas, particularly the eastern U.S., it has been the drug of greatest concern to enforcement authorities.

Prescription pain relievers can be addictive, the longer you take them, the more your body craves them.
