Oxycontin Plastic

I have been taking OxyContin for a number of years when I never healed from an implanted morphine pump (due to inability to make antibodies). I never had stomach problems until the reformulation with the plastic coating. My stomach problem is getting worse over time. Is this from the plastic in the OxyContin?

I am very sorry about the stomach issues that you're having.

However, there is no plastic coating on Oxycontin, nor is there any plastic in it. Such substances are not approved by the FDA for use in oral medications. I am not familiar with all the ingredients that may go into some types of plastic, so there may be something used in some plastics that is also used in Oxycontin, but that doesn't mean plastic is actually in the medication. There are many edible/digestible ingredients that are used in final products that aren't edible/digestible.

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.

As to the stomach issue, most medications can cause such things, because they frequently cause your stomach to produce more acid.

Are you making sure to take it with food, rather than on an empty stomach?

What types of symptoms are you experiencing?
