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 ® has
increased significantly, and the recent Oxycontin-related
deaths have attracted media attention,
thereby illuminating the problem.
