OXY Drug Test

This OXY drug test kit is created using the urine testing method, this method is the most used drug testing method today. This is due to the fact that urine is highly adept at storing traces of drugs within it. Because of this the Oxycodone drug test is based on this method of drug screening.

The timeframe in which urine will store the drugs you have taken will depend on several factors, however the most important is the amount of drug you take. The more you take the more likely it is to stay in your system.

What is Oxycodone

Oxycodone is an analgesic, which works by depressing the central nervous system. Oxycodone is abused for its opiate-like effects. In addition to its equal potency to morphine in analgesic effects, it is also equipotent to morphine in relieving abstinence symptoms from chronic opiate (heroin, morphine) use. For this reason, it is often used to alleviate or prevent the onset of opiate withdrawal by street users of heroin and methadone.

The drug is most often administered orally. Like other opiates, Oxycodone can also depress the respiratory system resulting in suffocation and death when overdosed. Oxycodone is very addictive, both physically and psychologically.

Some physical indications of Oxycodone abuse include extreme loss of appetite and weight, cramps, nausea, vomiting, excessive scratching and complaint of itching, excessive sweating, constipation, pin-point pupils and watery eyes, reduced vision, drowsiness, euphoria, trance-like states, excessive thirst, tremors, twitching, irritability, hallucinations, and lethargy.
