Oxycontin
Oxycontin is an oral tablet used to relieve mild to severe pain. It is available in 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, 80mg, and 160mg. Taking a single dose over 40mg or a daily total over 80mg can result in death. Oxycontin is a highly addictive drug, but this can be avoided as long as taken as perscribed to take it. It causes respiratory depression, or makes it hard to breathe so those with asthma should not take it for it can result in death. As time passes you need to take more doses to achieve the same initial affect. This is similar to cocaine for it is said you can never reach the same high, while oxycontin you will never feel as good as initialy.
