If the generic drug oxycodone and its trade name OxyContin both contain the same narcotic drug, why do drug addicts prefer to abuse OxyContin?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Addicts use OxyContin because it is a controlled-release tablet that contains up to 10 times more narcotic drug than other forms of oxycodone. The time-release formula is meant to control severe pain for 12 hours, but addicts crush the tablet and snort the powder (or dissolve the tablet and inject the liquid intravenously) to produce an immediate "high."
