Health Class Research Paper, “Is Oxycodone and Oxycontin the Same Thing?”?

Question by babe*wanna*fly: Health Class Research Paper, “is oxycodone and oxycontin the same thing?”?
I keep getting this question deleted, and it a topic for my health class, it is our “hugs not drugs” week, for our school.

So is oxycodone and oxycontin the same thing?
And how do teens abuse these drugs.

Best answer:

Answer by Rose
They are the same and not the same. Oxycodone is a shorter acting form of the drug, which is an opiode pan reliever. Oxycontin is the longer acting pure form of the drug. Both are misused. Teens misuse them the way anyone else does. They take them without a prescription in an attempt to get high. Some steal them from parents and grandparents on the drugs legitimately, some buy it off the street. Both are illegal and stupid. These are hefty drugs and are dangerous in the hands of a know nothing teen.
