Oxycontin OP 20mg

Product Description: OxyContin OP 20mg

Overview:
OxyContin OP 20mg is a prescription-strength, extended-release opioid medication designed for the management of severe, chronic pain requiring consistent, around-the-clock treatment. Each tablet contains 20mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, an opioid that provides effective pain relief over a 12-hour period. The OP (OxyContin Protection) formulation features abuse-deterrent technology that helps prevent tampering and misuse by making it difficult to crush, break, or dissolve.
