Description

oxycontin 80mg tablet

OxyContin 80mg tablets are a strong prescription opioid containing oxycodone hydrochloride, manufactured and marketed internationally by Mundipharma Pharmaceuticals. They treat severe, long-lasting pain. Due to high potency and addiction risks, fake versions contaminated with dangerous synthetic nitazenes have been reported globally.

What is OxyContin 80mg?

OxyContin is used to manage severe and persistent pain that requires an extended treatment period with a daily opioid pain medicine when other pain medicines do not treat your pain well enough, or you cannot tolerate them. It is a long-acting (extended-release) opioid pain medication that can put you at risk for overdose and death. Even if you take your dose correctly as prescribed, you are at risk for opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse that can lead to death.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An OxyContin overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Overdose symptoms may include severe drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, slow breathing, or no breathing.

Your doctor may recommend that you get naloxone (a medicine to reverse an opioid overdose) and keep it with you at all times. A person caring for you can give the naloxone if you stop breathing or don’t wake up. Your caregiver must still get emergency medical help and may need to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on you while waiting for help to arrive.

Storage

Store at room temperature, around 25°C (77°F).

Because of the risks associated with accidental ingestion, misuse, and abuse, OxyContin should be stored securely, out of sight and reach of children, and in a location not accessible by others, including visitors to the home. Leaving OxyContin unsecured can pose a deadly risk to others in the home.
