OXYCONTIN FOR SALE

What Is Oxycontin: ? OxyContin is a brand-name prescription pain medicine that contains oxycodone, a strong opioid (narcotic) pain reliever. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain that lasts a long time and needs around-the-clock pain control.

OxyContin is a long-acting (extended-release) tablet. This means it releases oxycodone slowly over many hours, helping to control pain throughout the day and night.

How Long Does Oxycontin Stay In Your System

OxyContin contains oxycodone, a long-acting opioid. How long it stays in your body depends on your dose, metabolism, age, liver and kidney function, and how long you’ve been taking it.

Average Detection Times:

After the last dose, oxycodone may be detected for:

• Blood: up to 24 hours

• Saliva: 1–4 days

• Urine: 3–4 days (sometimes longer with regular use)

• Hair: up to 90 days

Half-Life Information:

• OxyContin has an average half-life of about 4.5–6.5 hours.

• It usually takes about 4–5 half-lives for most of the drug to leave the body, which is roughly 1–2 days, though small amounts may remain longer.

Important Notes

• Extended-release OxyContin stays active longer than short-acting oxycodone.

• Chronic or high-dose use can make it stay in the system longer.

• Drug tests may detect oxycodone even after the effects have worn off.

What Is an Opioid?

• Overdose, especially if misused

For this reason, OxyContin is a controlled substance and must be used only under medical supervision.
