Answer : OXYCONTIN
oxycodone, semisynthetic drug with potent pain-relieving effects that is derived from thebaine, an alkaloid that occurs naturally in the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Oxycodone was synthesized from thebaine in 1916 and was first used clinically the following year. Today it is prescribed for moderate to severe pain and is sold under various brand names, including OxyContin, Percolone, and Oxyfast. A widely prescribed drug known as Percocet contains oxycodone in combination with acetaminophen.
Oxycodone works by stopping pain signals travelling along the nerves to the brain. Oxycodone liquid and capsules work in 30 to 60 minutes but wear off after 4 to 6 hours. It’s possible to become addicted to oxycodone, but your doctor will explain how to reduce the risks of becoming addicted. If you need to take oxycodone for more than a few weeks, your treatment plan may include details of how and when to stop taking this medicine. The most common side effects of oxycodone are constipation, feeling sick and feeling sleepy.
