Small Round Pink Pill K 56 (Top voted first)

Is the k/56 pink pill the same as OxyContin? And do people abuse these after crushing them? If so, what are the effects and long term side effects?

Who are you to say that 6 30's of roxicodone is too much. Get shot in the face and have your jaw and spine blown out with several fusions and a replaced jaw..then talk to me about taking 6 30's a day is too much. Its not an addiction problem but a pain problem moron and you shouldnt put a general statement like that out since some people like myself are in legitamite pain 24/7 and not these people going in pill shopping saying they are in pain.
In the past 10 years I was on 4 80mg oxycontin a day and recently switched up to ms contin 24/7 with 6 30's oxycodone ir for breakthrough and this dosage is way smaller than the 4 80mg oxycontin I used to be on.
People need to understand there are some people who need this amount of the medicine in order to function without suffering in life, and not to generalize "everyone" who takes this amount is an addict! Oxycodone has given my life back and function just fine. Ive tried everything from fetanyl patches(duragesic), methadone, ms contin, oxycontin, morphine, demerol, and everything in between and oxycodone is by far the best pain reliever out of all these drugs with the ms contin for round the clock. Finally, with todays tough laws and cracking down on doctors, if your not in legitamite pain there arent too many people who can get that amount of the drug anyways..so since your not a doctor. STFU and leave it to the pros before you label everyone an addict taking large doses of oxycodone. Like I said take a bullet in your face, have 5 cervical neck fusions in neck and titanium jaw to put you back together and then come talk to me about your opinion on taking pain meds in the dosage your labeling people as an addict!

I agree with that.. My dad used to be on 4 30's a day and was recently diagnose with cancer and is now taking 12 30's and 2 oxy 80's per day! At first I thought this was way too much pain med but after going to a doctor visit with him and seeing how much it improves the quality of life for him It makes sense. Sure you get addicted but if you dont abuse it and it makes u have a better quality of life when u are in pain then so be it

incorrect i am a doctor in people that have to take that many due to pain issues the longer you are on them the less effective they are so in turn you need to up the dosage while there may be addiction in play it is stupid to assume automaticly that it is from addiction please research before you post

Its definatly not worth the addiction the 10 mg's is fine to take on but the 30mg roxicodones r very addictive especially by snorting..

If you are going to get on people for their spelling, you may want to check your spelling. It's grammar, not grammer, moron.

DITO, the same information would apply to trying to injecting that I stated in my prior post. Due to the fillers in tablets, such practices can be very dangerous.

Many tablets contain fillers, which are not intended to be broken down by the human body and are normally expelled in your waste. When someone crushes a tablet and snorts it, they are putting these substances into their body and the body is unable to process them out.

Injecting tablets that aren't meant to be used that way, can result in blockages, which could cause stroke or embolism.

This is why their are special formulations made for injecting medications.

Is there anything else I can help with?

"Many tablets contain fillers, which are not intended to be broken down by the human body and are normally expelled in your waste. When someone crushes a tablet and snorts it, they are putting these substances into their body and the body is unable to process them out. "

This doesn't make sense. If they add fillers that are not intended to be broken down by the human body then they wouldn't even put them in there. Even when you just swallow the pill you are still putting the entire pill's contents (including fillers) into your body, just because you are not injecting it directly into your bloodstream or crushing and snorting doesn't mean that you are not still putting these fillers into your body, fillers that are supposedly not intended to be broken down b y the human body.

60 , 30s is not that much. ive known pleanty of addicts that take 5,6 80's a day and dont even get high..
but for everyone in serious pain i would strongly recomend methadone..its been a miracle drug for my girl..she was ong 5 , 80's a day and in constant pain...alwasy takeing pills ..up and down...the methadone once a day has let her sleep the whole nite for the first time in years..the pain blocking effect lasts 24 hrs..and it blocks withdrawl for 36...so u dont feel withdrawl all the time.
the biggggg draw back...its at least twice as hard to get off as oxys or heroine. and the withdrawl lasts 2 weeks to a month. and its dangerous to quit cold turkey unlike opiates.......but if your in that much pain...its 100% worth it, cause your gona be on it forever anyways.

Keifer, have you ever looked into a pain pump, or have your doctors ever mentioned it to you?

It basically gives the medications via IV, that's permanently implanted, rather than your having to swallow pills.

That way, you'd no longer be relying on your stomach and intestines to process the medication.

Amen brother. you're not an addict. I agree with you whole heartedly. i'm on 40mg of opana a day because i was hit by a car and can't walk like a normal person forever and people call me an addict. mines not nearly as bad as yours but they don't get it, sometimes you need narcotics to just take a piss. its a shame, but we are the victims here

Dear Privacy,
Imagine that you are hit head-on by a drunken driver such that you smash through the windshield and soar a good 20 ft. through the air before doing a power slide on your face on the rough road surface. You won't hurt right at first, but after about 30-60 sec., the pain will come on like you can't believe. You will not believe that it is possible to hurt that much.
When you get to the hospital, they will keep you from dying and they will run a full-body CAT scan. By this time, you would already be begging the staff to give you something for the pain, and you will be told that you cannot be given any opiates until a radiologist reads your CAT scan. Unfortunately the doc informs you of the severe concussion of your frontal cortex, therefore you cannot receive any opiate pain meds because opiates greatly facilitate swelling of the brain in patients with concussions. Concussions do not heal overnight, thus you will simply have to just suffer and tough it out for about a week sans any pain meds. Thoughts of suicide will enter your thoughts, that is if you can concentrate long enough to even think about anything except how badly you hurt. All the docs can do is give you a lot of diazepam to take the edge off your panic-inducing anxiety.
I hate when people like you preach their idea of "I'm right and you're an idiot" mentality. The only cure for people like you is a real wake-up call; an attitude adjustment. As blunt as this post is, I'm afraid that it is the only thing that will give you the wake-up call you need.
I don't wish you dead. I only want you to see what it feels like to hurt like you can't believe. Only then will obstinate people like you understand.

Matt,
The pills you are talking about are 10 mg, immediate-release, oxycodone tablets. It is stupid to snort them because the drug will not get into your system any faster by snorting the tablets. The same is true for cocaine or meth, neither of which anyone should be screwing with anyway since those things are not made professional chemists or by using analytical grade chemicals. Not only that, tablets often contain microcrystalline cellulose and silica as fillers. If fillers were not added, the tablets would be about the size of a pin head and the powder would not stick to itself. Both of the fillers I mentioned are substances one does not want in their lungs; especially the silica. Long-term exposure to silica can cause "silica pneumonia," a serious and usually fatal lung disease.
The reason snorting the tabs is useless is because both the oxycodone and cocaine are salts. Both of them happen to be the hydrochloride salt. (Morphine is usually made as the sulfate salt.) What this means is that, like coke, the drug is not absorbed through the mucous membranes. Opiates and coke belong to a group of naturally-occuring, or modified naturally-occuring, organic molecules called alkaloids. Alkaloids contain at least one relatively basic nitrogen atom which can accept a hydrogen ion from hydrochloric acid. Thus, the alkaloid is positively charged and the chlorine atom is negatively charged. ("Chloride" means a negatively-charged chlorine atom.)
Salts of alkaloids are not absorbed through a mucous membrane, which is what your sinus cavities and your gums and cheeks are. So if you did snort a crushed oxycodone tablet, a portion of it ends up in your lungs, but most of it just sticks to the walls of your sinuses, pharynx and throat. Because the salts are acids, they irritate whatever tissues they stick to, which causes the membranes to release mucous, or your mouth to release saliva, in an effort to flush the irritants off. Ultimately, you end up swallowing most of the tablet anyway. You will eventually cough up the powder, or the cilia action in your lungs will eventually sweep it out of your lungs. In either case you only end up swallowing the tablet.
The free base of most alkaloids can be absorbed through a mucous membrane. Nicotine is an alkaloid. Snuff tobacco like Scoal is actually fumigated with anhydrous ammonia to ensure that all of the nicotine is present as the free base so that it can be absorbed through your gums and cheek.
Finally, the tablets are not sterile. Anytime you snort something that's been handled by who knows how many people's dirty hands, you are risking a sinus infection and/or pneumonia.

Pete Wheeler: your post is the only single post that actually explains why the method of ingestion of oxycodone (by snorting or injecting as opposed to oral intake) makes a difference and may be seriously problematic. I get frustrated reading the irresponsible and misinformation-filled posts which are plentiful here. So thanks for recognizing the need to provide accurate info in answer to this question. Some folks aren't capable of processing these fact-filled, accurate responses because they simply don't understand basic facts about physiology yet; and that is what is needed: accurate facts supplied in a non-judgmental way so one doesnt have to spend time cutting through CRAP while they try to increase their knowledge base and replace fallacy with fact. Appreciate your attempt to provide non-judgmental and accurate facts to this subject.

I am a Dr., an internist to be exact, and I own a pain-management clinic with my mail-order wife, who also earned her MD and completed her residency in neurology. I am eager to correct some misconceptions and errors, and to set the record straight on a few things I've read on this string of comments.
Regarding fillers: In tablets, one of the most common fillers is magnesium stearate, which is technically a soap, although it is useless as such because it is insoluble in water. It's nearly the same thing as the soap sodium stearate, which is water-soluble. When true soaps, as opposed to detergents, come in contact with a magnesium or calcium ion in hard water, the Mg(II) or Ca(II) ion displaces the sodium, creating a water-insoluble soap called "soap scum." Other water-soluble soaps commonly used are the Mg or Ca salts of palmitic, lauric, myristic and a few other saturated fatty acids. Mg(II) stearate is often used as a filler is because it is non-toxic, colorless, tasteless, odorless, and has a waxy consistency which allows it to be easily shaped. Because it is too soft at room temperature, other fillers are added such as talc, mannose, starch and titanium dioxide. None of those are toxic, and when present in the right pro-portions, they allow the tablet to be easily pressed into the desired shape and with the preferred hardness and brittleness so that they break up easily in the stomach.
Using any medication other than the way you are directed to use it is just plain stupid. In the case of opiates or opiate agonists like fentanyl, which is not an opiate since it is not a derivative of morphine nor does its chemical structure resemble morphine, injecting, smoking, chewing it or using it in any way other than what the directions say may result in DEATH! The fillers won't kill you. You could die because the abuser is receiving the prescribed dose over a much shorter time period and because it is not passing through the liver first. This is a good place to correct one commentator who said that taking a drug by IV is the fastest way to get it to the brain. Actually, inhaling a drug is the quickest way to get it to the brain.
Pills and tablets are not sterile. The most dangerous aspect of injecting a crushed tablet or the contents of a capsule is probably sepsis or an untreated abscess after the chance of an overdose. If one wishes to inject a tablet or capsule, the odds are the drug is not water soluble or only slightly so, thus unless the drug is a salt like codeine phosphate, it probably will not dissolve. Nevertheless, if someone is determined to inject a tablet or a capsule's contents, they should first wash their hands meticulously and dry them with a clean towel. {Edited for safety reasons}
I think that it's stupid to inject drugs, even prescription ones that aren't meant to be injected, but at least don't do it intravenously. At least clean the injection area on your butt with soap & water, dry, and rub on a little of the antibiotic ointment before injecting the drug.
