Oxycontin Op Duration 40mg Cut In Half (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

Given the protective qualities of the new Oxy OP, if you cut, say a 40mg tab in half, does it still release the drug slowly? I noticed there is no warning label on the bottle saying do not chew. In other words, given the new formulation, if cut in half does it still retain its slow release quality?

I have taken one 80mg oxycontin and 1/2 of an 80mg (I cut an 80mg in half) every 12 hours for over a year. cutting the new 0p in half does not change its effect. I have never crushed one. I suffer from sever degenerative disc disease since 1989 L4 -S1 and C3-C6. I had one back surgery that helped a little. Thank God for pain medication

Retaining their time release properties, even if someone tries to cut them in half, crush or chew them is exactly how they are supposed to work.

However, it is still not recommended that you alter your dosage, without your doctor's approval.

Oxycontin contains the very powerful narcotic Oxycodone.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.
