The correct drug names are Oxycontin and Roxicodone, they both contain the narcotic Oxycodone, but Oxycontin is an extended release formulation that is taken every 12 hours and Roxicodone is a regular release formulation.
As far as ROXYCONTIN or ROXICODONE, what are the different milligrams that are available? I know of 15 & 30. Is there a 80 milligram ROXICONTIN?
Yes, Jen, since they both contain the narcotic Oxycodone, they will both come up as an opiate on a drug panel.
Oliver, no, there is no 80mgs of Roxicodone, it is only available 5mgs, 15mgs and 30mg tablets.
Is the round light blue pill with M on front and scored on back with 30 on top the name brand oxycodone tablets? I know generic is A 215, but which is better?
There are also 20 milligram roxys that are grey.
