Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OxyContin OP is a newer formulation that is designed to reduce OxyContin abuse. The OP formulation is much harder to crush into a powder. The OC preparation can be crushed and dissolved in water or alcohol and can easily be drawn into a syringe. The OP preparation does not dissolve easily in these solutions. Despite the differences in preparation, there is no indication that either form is less subject to abuse or overdose.
