Swallow Whole, Do Not Crush or Chew

[Plug Drugs]

if you want my two cents i'd say the oxycodone molecule itself is only responsible for 30-40% of pharmacological effects, and that's cut in half after the first 3 hours (oc's half life is like 3-4 hours). For me, I'm still peaking at the 3 hour mark, which, just to me, suggests that the metabolites, and not oxycodone itself, are primarily responsible for its effects.
As always, everyone is different, especially when it comes to drugs with active metabolites, as people's hepatic activity varies drastically between individuals
