n.
1)A common slang term used to define oxycontin, a prescription sustained-release opioid-analgesic marketed by Purdue Pharma. It is comprised of the active ingredient oxycodone, and an inert filler. Available dosages range from 10-80mg. 160mg pills used to be available but were pulled from the market. It does not contain acetaminophen as Percocet, Endocet do. This makes it particularly desirable to those who wish to use it for 'off-label' purposes.
Term erroneously applied to oxycontin or other pain medications which are misused by certain individuals who use bad judgement thinking they will get 'high' from a medicine by misusing it against labeling instructions and better judgement instead causing death.
Even when hillbilly heroin is taken as as directed on the label and not altered in any way, you can still have an adverse reaction to it and end up toes up in the morgue.
