There have been many complaints about this.

Opana contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone and it is actually stronger than Oxycodone, requiring just half the dose.

So, if you were taking 80mgs of Oxycontin, you would need just 40mgs of Opana.

Since it is a narcotic, the side effect profile is basically the same: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation.
