The reason some "BLUES" (street name) are larger than others is because every pill contains a "filler" wether it be a pain reliever like asprin or even just a simple substance that helps keep the pills shape and strength so it doesn't crumble to dust very easily. Another reason they are different sizes are for safety reasons so you can't easily get pills confused with one another and accidentally take something that could harm you. Last but not least they are different sizes and shapes so they can be found and described by anyone who knows enough to use the Internet to check to see what you are taking,if all pills looked the same this would not be very easy. Hope this is one of the answers you were looking for and can help someone In the future. Always look up the pill identification number before you take it if you don't know exactly what it is.

As has been stated, the size difference is due to the fillers used. There is a list of ingredients that the FDA considers safe, and a manfacturer can use any of them that they choose in their products to achieve the desired results, such as being able to compress it into a pill form.

This tablet contains 30mgs of Oxycodone (NDC 57664-0224).

Inactive Ingredients:

- Anhydrous Lactose
- Silicon Dioxide
- Magnesium Stearate
- Cellulose, Microcrystalline
- Starch, Corn
- Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato
- Fd&c Blue No. 2

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
