Overview
0xyc0d0ne 80 mg (marked as OP 80) is a high-strength, extended-release (ER) opioid pain medication. It contains 0xyc0d0ne hydrochloride, an opioid analgesic used to manage severe and chronic pain requiring continuous, long-term opioid therapy.
This tablet is formulated to release the medicine slowly over 12 hours and should never be used for mild or short-term pain.
OP 80 refers to the imprint on the green, round OxyContin 80 mg tablet, manufactured by Purdue Pharma in the U.S. The “OP” mark indicates the abuse-deterrent formulation introduced to replace older “OC” tablets.

How It Works
0xyc0d0ne binds to μ-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, blocking pain signals and producing pain relief.
Because it is an extended-release product, each tablet maintains pain control for up to 12 hours when taken as directed.

- Avoid alcohol or sedatives while using 0xyc0d0ne.
