Oxycontin
(Oxycodone Hydrochloride): About.com with Teri Robert: "Oxycontin (Oxycodone
hydrochloride controlled-release) is an opioid analgesic in time-release form.
Oxycontin is supplied in 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg tablet
strengths. The tablet strengths describe the amount of Oxycodone per tablet.
While earlier reports contained some pretty startling numbers, they tended not
to include this very important fact: In many, if not most cases, death was a
result of polypharmacy - a mixture of drugs. In some cases, the victims had been
drinking and using at least one other drug in addition to Oxycodone. I many
cases, there was no way to know that the Oxycodone found in the bodies had come
from Oxycontin rather than another drug containing Oxycodone. Some other drugs
that contain Oxycodone are Percocet, Tylox, and Endocet"

Oxycontin
(Oxycodone hydrochloride): A page with comprehensive information about this
drug, collected by a woman suffering with pain: Shawna Kopchu RN, Director of
headachepainfree.com: "I wanted to create a page that explains Oxycontin and how
it helps for chronic pain sufferers, the dangers, the pros and cons and anything
I can find about the drug. Lately all I have read is bad press on Oxycontin and
how they are calling this drug the "Poor Man's Heroin". So I am devoting this
page to explaining all there is to know about Oxycontin and how it has been a
life saver to many people, including myself."

Information and
studies concerning Oxycontin (Oxycodone hydrochloride): Center Watch
Clinical Trial Listings Service; patient resources: "Oxycontin is
contraindicated in subjects with known hypersensitivity to Oxycodone, or in any
situation where opioids are contraindicated. This includes subjects with
significant respiratory depression (in unmonitored settings or the absence of
resuscitative equipment), and subjects with acute or severe bronchial asthma or
hypercarbia. Oxycontin is contraindicated in any subjects who has or is
suspected of having paralytic ileus…In clinical trials of Oxycontin tablets,
involving more than 700 subjects, onset of pain relief occurred within one hour
for most subjects"

Oxycontin (Oxycodone
hydrochloride); an article about Oxycontin: Doctors Guide: "Oxycontin (TM)
generated a groundswell of international support at this year's meeting of the
International Association of the Study of Pain (IASP). The enthusiasm of IASP
members parallels the powerful U.S. response to the launch of OxyContin --
enabling the drug to achieve its entire expected first-year sales in only eight
months. The most serious risk associated with opioids, including OxyContin, is
respiratory depression. Common opioid side effects are constipation, nausea,
sedation, dizziness, vomiting, pruritus, headache, dry mouth, sweating, and
weakness."

******************************************************
Abuse of Oxycontin
(Oxycodone hydrochloride): Oxycontin Referral.com: "The Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) reports that, in the United States, oxycodone products,
including OxyContin, are frequently abused pharmaceuticals. The pharmacological
effects of OxyContin make it a suitable substitute for heroin; therefore, it is
attractive to the same abuser population. Several deaths have resulted
specifically from the abuse of OxyContin. Oxycodone is a central nervous system
depressant. Oxycodone's action appears to work through stimulating the opioid
receptors found in the central nervous system that activate responses ranging
from analgesia to respiratory depression to euphoria."

Comprehensive
information including links to other resources concerning Oxycontin (Oxycodone
Hydrochloride): Vernon J. Petri and Associates: OxyContin® is a form of
synthetic morphine which is normally taken in tablet form. OxyContin is
extremely potent and effective at reducing pain for a period of several hours.
It is primarily used by cancer patients. However, it is also used for other
ailments and its popularity has grown as the 'pain-killer' of choice by many
doctors and patients. The drug itself, as indicated above, is extremely potent,
which increases the possibility of overdose. These factors heighten the concern
that doctors may be prescribing OxyContin to patients who, while in need of a
pain reliever, are not in need of this particular drug or are over-prescribing
OxyContin to patients. Both could lead to addiction and possibly death."

******************************************************
Oxycontin
(Oxycodone hydrochloride): Recall.com: "The Lee Coalition for Health in Lee
County, Virginia has initiated the National Petition to recall OxyContin. While
this is a complicated issue with many factors to consider, we feel that the pain
and suffering brought to countless families and communities by the abuse of the
drug far surpasses the benefits. It is clear by now that the best interests of
the public health are served by the recall of OxyContin."

Oxycontin
(Oxycodone Hydrochloride): "MSN Health: "Brand Names: M-Oxy, OxyContin,
Oxyir, Percolone, Roxicodone.Avoid alcohol while taking oxycodone. Alcohol will
greatly increase the drowsiness and dizziness caused by oxycodone and could be
dangerous. Also avoid sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives, and
antihistamines except under the supervision of your doctor. These medications
also may cause dangerous sedation. Use caution when driving, operating
machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Oxycodone may cause
drowsiness. If you experience drowsiness, avoid these activities."

Drug abuse
among Oxycontin (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) patients: A Healthy Me: "FRIDAY,
Feb. 9 (HealthScout) -- A powerful drug that started out as a way to kill the
intense pain of advanced cancer and other diseases has hit the underground,
spreading rapidly among people who are using it to get high, say narcotics
officials in the United States. Illegal use of the drug, OxyContin, was first
reported in Maine about 18 months ago, but has since spread south, officials
say. Law enforcement agencies throughout the east have been staging bust
operations to quash the problem. John Burke, director of the Warren County drug
task force in Lebanon, Ohio, and vice president of the National Association of
Drug Diversion Investigators, calls illicit use of OxyContin and related
substances a "huge" problem nationwide. Many people illegally obtain OxyContin
by "doctor shopping" -- going from physician to physician for prescriptions.
Other forms of diversion include stealing from pharmacies and writing phony
orders for the pills, Burke says."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
