The Abuse Potential of Remoxy^®, an Extended-Release Formulation of Oxycodone, Compared with Immediate- and Extended-Release Oxycodone

Abstract

The abuse potential of Remoxy when taken whole or chewed was significantly lower than two comparators with known abuse potential, including oxycodone IR and crushed oxycodone ER, under the fed/fasted conditions tested. Remoxy may be associated with a reduced risk potential for abuse.
