Hello all.

I'm planning on taking 120mg of Oxycodone but I've just realised that 120mg won't actually reach my brain. I'm taking 4x 10mg capsules and 4x 20mg capsules. It says on the 10mg box that it contains 9mg and the 20mg box contains 18mg so that's 108mg. Then I've got to factor in bioavailability which is about 70% for Oxycodone. So the actual dosage that reaches my blood stream is around 75.6mg! It feels like I've been conned lol. Are my calculations right?

PS: Don't worry I'm opioid tolerant.
