Oxycontin OP 30mg

Product Description: OxyContin OP 30mg

Overview:
OxyContin OP 30mg is a prescription-strength, extended-release opioid analgesic formulated for the management of severe, chronic pain requiring continuous, around-the-clock treatment. Each tablet contains 30mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, released gradually over 12 hours. The OP (OxyContin Protection) formulation incorporates abuse-deterrent technology, making it difficult to crush, break, or dissolve for misuse.

Key Features:

• Active Ingredient: Oxycodone Hydrochloride 30mg

• Form: Extended-release oral tablet

• Brand: OxyContin OP

• Use: Long-term treatment of severe pain in opioid-tolerant patients

• Dosing Frequency: Every 12 hours

• Abuse-Deterrent: Engineered to resist manipulation for non-oral abuse

How It Works:
Oxycodone is a potent opioid agonist that binds to mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system. This alters the body’s perception of pain and provides sustained relief. The extended-release system ensures a steady release over 12 hours, reducing the need for frequent dosing while maintaining consistent pain control.

Dosage & Administration:

• Only for opioid-tolerant patients

• Standard dosage: 30mg every 12 hours, adjusted by a physician

• Do not crush, chew, split, or dissolve — swallowing the tablet whole is essential to avoid overdose

• Use under strict medical supervision

Black Box Warnings:
