I don't know the details, but oxycodone is synthesized from thebaine, one of the alkaloids found in opium. The other major alkaloids of opium are morphine and codeine. Buprenorphine is also derived from thebaine. Hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and dihydrocodeinone are all derived from morphine. Codeine is metabolized into morphine in our livers. BULL SH!T. oxymorphone is made from thebain. all the good opiates and the strongest are made from thebain.

There are different ways to make oxycodone but mostly it is made from thebaine. Thebaine is an alkaloid found in the opium poppy. While not a narcotic in itself, it is often used to make semi-synthetic opioids such as oxycodone.

oxycodone. The difference between OxyContin and roxicodone is OxyContin is time-release. This means it is released slowly over a 12 hour period unless you take the time-release coating off of the pill. Roxicodone on the other hand is instant release, contains no coating and has no other ingredients other than oxycodone.
