Question: Is taking FOUR 20mg oxycontin the same as taking two 80 mg, more to question...?
I have 20mg oxycontins left from other prescription and may as well use them up so is it the same to take four 20mg oxycontins (twice a day)the same as taking two 80mgs(twice a day)??? Thanks in advance!

Answers:

what? of course its the same. are you just double checking? :)



No it is not the same since Oxycontins are time released so if you take 2 20 mg of Oxycontin at the same time, they will be released at the same time so you ae getting twice the amount in the same hours and not having any in you system for the remainder of the day. Stagger the 20 mg pills as one every 2 hours and it will not give you too much medication at one time and not any during the rest of the time.
