Oxycontin OP 40mg

Product Description: OxyContin OP 40mg

Overview:
OxyContin OP 40mg is a controlled-release opioid analgesic designed to manage severe and chronic pain that requires continuous, long-term opioid treatment. Each tablet contains 40mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, formulated in an abuse-deterrent (OP) extended-release system. This medication provides 12-hour pain relief and is intended for opioid-tolerant patients who need consistent, around-the-clock pain management.

Key Features:

• Active Ingredient: Oxycodone Hydrochloride 40mg

• Form: Extended-release oral tablet (OP formulation)

• Use: Long-term treatment of severe chronic pain

• Not for: Occasional or as-needed (PRN) pain relief

• Abuse-Deterrent: Designed to resist crushing, breaking, and dissolving

How It Works:
Oxycodone is a potent opioid agonist that works by binding to mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks pain signals and alters the perception of pain. The extended-release mechanism ensures a steady release of medication over 12 hours, allowing for twice-daily dosing and consistent pain control. The OP technology helps deter abuse through non-oral routes.

• Dose must be individualized by a healthcare provider based on opioid tolerance and medical condition

• Take with or without food, but consistently
