Are the football shaped oxycontin different than both the brand first name oxycontin and/or the ABG type?
I realize that the REAL OCs are the only ones that can be shot, not that I'm into that. But I am curious to know what it is about the football shaped OCs that is so different? I've heard tons of different things more or less them like that if you crush them they are no longer effective (which i don't quite get), or that ALL OCs are soon going to become the football shaped ones. If anyone has any impression whether they actually "**** you up" less than the other kinds, I would appreciate some insight so my junkie friends can stop arguing. Oh, and I'm not here to be told how horrible oxycontin is, I just want my question answered. Thanks!
The active ingredient in the brand-name OC's and the football-shaped ones are exactly the same thing chemically - oxycodone HCl. The difference is the adjectives ingredients, for example the binders and coatings. The binders are the things that make the pill stick together and not fall apart into a little pile of powder. You will notice the difference if you be to crush and chew the tablets. The brand-name breaks down smoothly and uniformly. The football-shaped ones make little sticky globs and stick to everything. The manufacturers do that on purpose to prevent crushing and snorting. Are they equivalent in messing you up? Even doctors disagree on this point. According to the FDA, the generic must contain like strength and "bio-equivalence" of the active medication as the brand-name. This is a huge biochemical debate. But the short answer is: they contain the same drug, they're just put together differently. A Snickers and a Hershey bar and a Reece's cup adjectives contain chocolate - they're just made differently and have other stuff in with the chocolate. Source(s): http://www.fda.gov/cder/ogd/
