OxyContin
addiction is caused by long term intake of
OxyContin ®. OxyContin ® is the brand name for the
time-release formula of oxycodone, a narcotic analgesic for moderate
to severe pain. It is used to treat terminally ill cancer patients and
chronic pain sufferers as well as relieving postpartum, postoperative
and dental pain. OxyContin ® comes in liquid and tablet forms taken
every 6 hours. Long-acting tablets are available to take every 12 hours.
Oxycodone is an opium derivative and is the active ingredient in Percodan ® and
Percocet ®. Oxycodone binds to the pain receptors in the brain so
that the sensation of pain is reduced. Since oxycodone can be habit forming,
care must be taken to follow the doctor's instructions when taking OxyContin ®.
Do not take a larger dose, or take it more frequently, or take it for
longer than the doctor has prescribed. Since its FDA approval in 1995,
the illegal use of OxyContin ® as increased
significantly, and the recent OxyContin-related
deaths have attracted media attention,
thereby illuminating the problem.
