Rp pills generally refer to Oxycodone Hydrochloride 10 mg tablets, identified by the imprint "R P 10". These are prescription opioid pain relievers.
Here's a breakdown of what that means:
- Oxycodone Hydrochloride: This is the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic, meaning it's a pain reliever. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to block pain signals.
- 10 mg: This indicates the strength of the oxycodone in each tablet – 10 milligrams.
- Imprint R P 10: This is the marking on the pill to help identify it. "R P 10" signifies it's manufactured and distributed by a specific pharmaceutical company (usually Roxane Pharmaceuticals, although this can vary). Pill imprints are crucial for identification purposes.
- Color White Shape Round: These are other physical characteristics helpful for identification.
Because Oxycodone is a potent opioid, Rp pills (Oxycodone Hydrochloride 10mg) are:
- Prescription-Only: You cannot obtain these pills legally without a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
- Controlled Substances: They are subject to strict regulations due to their potential for misuse, addiction, and diversion.
- Used for Pain Management: Primarily prescribed for moderate to severe pain.
Important Considerations:
- Misuse and Abuse: Oxycodone has a high potential for abuse. Taking it in ways not prescribed, or by someone it wasn't prescribed to, can lead to serious consequences, including addiction, overdose, and death.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. More serious side effects are possible.
- Interactions: Oxycodone can interact with other medications, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, and other opioids. These interactions can be dangerous.
- If a patient is prescribed these medications, they need to take them exactly as directed by their health professional, and it must not be shared with other individuals.
