Wasn't it common for a person to take 80 mg back when OxyContin could still be abused?
Oxycodone can be administered orally, intranasally, via intravenous/intramuscular/subcutaneous injection or rectally. The bioavailability of oral administration of OxyContin averages 60–87%, with rectal administration yielding the same results; intranasal varies between individuals with a mean of 46%
Correct me if I am wrong, but wiki's intermingling use of OxyCodone and OxyContin is incorrect isn't it? I was under the impression that oxycodone was the instant release form and OcyContin was the time release form of the same drug.
Oxycontin is a time release form of the drug. Oxycodone is an instant release form of the drug.
