• Reported abuse occurs in crushing, chewing, snorting, or injecting the dissolved substance, which delivers dangerous, uncontrolled doses of opioids into the body.
• The potential results include fatal overdose by respiratory depression, among other trauma.
• Federal law prohibits the distribution of Oxycodone narcotic medication to others without regulated medical authorization.
