Oxycontin Attorneys
OxyContin is a controlled-release form of the narcotic
painkiller oxycodone. It is prescribed for moderate to severe pain when
continuous, around-the-clock relief is needed for an extended period of
time.
OxyContin, or oxycodone hydrochloride, is a powerful prescription painkiller
that is used to treat the pain associated with arthritis, cancer, back
pain, and other injuries. OxyContin provides pain relief and produces
feelings of euphoria.
Side effects of OxyContin include:
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Opiod dependency - OxyContin is a powerful opiod that causes physical
dependence (this is different than addiction, which is a psychological
dependence).
* Abuse - patients who become addicted to OxyContin can become drug abusers.
* Diversion - patients who become addicted to OxyContin often find ways
to obtain the drug illegally.
There have been approximately 100 deaths associated with OxyContin abuse.
As a result, the FDA has required the manufacturer of the drug to include
a warning on the label of OxyContin.
