Product Description: OxyContin OP 30mg
Overview:
OxyContin OP 30mg is a prescription-strength, extended-release opioid analgesic formulated for the management of severe, chronic pain requiring continuous, around-the-clock treatment. Each tablet contains 30mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, released gradually over 12 hours. The OP (OxyContin Protection) formulation incorporates abuse-deterrent technology, making it difficult to crush, break, or dissolve for misuse.

How It Works:
Oxycodone is a potent opioid agonist that binds to mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system. This alters the body’s perception of pain and provides sustained relief. The extended-release system ensures a steady release over 12 hours, reducing the need for frequent dosing while maintaining consistent pain control.
