Oxycodone HCL (hydrochloride) is an opiate-based analgesic (painkiller) which is derived from morphine and is a narcotic that is related to codeine. OxyContin is the brand name of a time-release formula of oxycodone produced by the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma. It is very addictive and creates a high risk for abuse. Consequently, this is one of the prescription medications that the DEA now views as a threat as it has become a favorite of the drug distribution and trafficking industry along with other prescription medications.
One of the major problems with oxycodone abuse is the fact that tolerance builds up quickly so that the addict needs more and more of it to achieve the effect that they want to achieve. There are literally millions of reported cases of abuse, overdose, and death that are associated with oxycodone. Suffice it to say, it is not only a major drug threat in the US today, it is also a public health threat as well.
Oxycodone HCL is a depressant that directly affects the central nervous system by creating a state of euphoria by suppressing pain and relaxing the individual, eventually enabling the person to cope with the pain and even sleep. Unfortunately, many individuals today get addicted to this effect and like taking it recreationally. This is also ingested for the purposes of averting withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin abstinence.
