History
Oxymorphone was first developed in Germany in 1914. Then patented in the USA by Enda Pharmaceuticals in 1955. Which was then introduced to the United States in January of 1959, and other countries during the same time. It was designed to have a fewer side effects compared to Morphine and Heroin.
Dosage
Bioavailability of each route of administration. Note: Do not take these dosages as dictionary. These are rough estimations off users' experience with it. Be safe and remember you can always take more, but you can never take less.
Note that Opana contains much material which binds to mucous membranes in the nose, for this reason it is difficult to insufflate.
Never inject a pill without a micron filter and a clean syringe.

Like with all other opioids/opiates there is a chance of addiction and tolerance occurring with the use. Please keep that in mind if you plan on using this substance or any others in this class.
Potentiators
- All First generation Anti-Histamines
- Grapefruit Juice
- Alchohol
- Benzodiazapines
Avoid
- All other CNS depressants (such as alcohol and benzodiazapines) as it could be too much sedation and you can overdose more easily.
Chemistry and Pharmacology
