Is Oxycontin Going To Be Changed So It Can't Be Injected

Updated

I saw a program on Australian TV that said Oxycontin would be changed so that the tablets couldn't be used for injecting.
Do you know any info about this.

Purdue Pharma has already changed the formulation in the U.S.

They made it so that if someone tries to crush the tablets, or break them down for snorting or injecting, they basically turn into a type of gummy goo that retains its time released properties.

Learn more Oxycontin details here.

I am really not surprised that they are following suit in other countries, as well.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Not only that but they have added naltrexone which will through you into instant withdrawal. It will kill quite a few addicts. If you are getting them from a doctor tell them they dont work and swich to dilidud.
The smaller pharmacies may still carry oxycodone quick release. They tell me they only have a thousand on hand of the old style but will be carrying the small hard blue 30's which dont dissolve as easy but dont contain poison.
