Additional Information
Use:Oxycodone (OxyContin® and other brand names such as
Percocet® and Percodan®) is an opioid analgesic
medication
synthesized from opium-derived thebaine. It was developed
in
1916 in Germany, as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids in
an
attempt to improve on the existing opioids: morphine,
diacetylmorphine (heroin), and codeine.
Oxycodone oral medications are generally prescribed for the
relief of moderate to severe pain. Currently it is
formulated
as single ingredient products or compounded products.
Some
common examples of compounding are oxycodone with
acetaminophen/paracetamol (e.g., Percocet®) or NSAIDs such
as
ibuprofen. The formulations are available as generics,
but
are also made under various brand names. OxyContin®
is
Purdue Pharma’s brand for time-release oral oxycodone.
