- 5-20mg (No tolerance) - 20-60mg (Medium-High tolerance) - 60mg+ (Very High tolerance)
Any dose of Oxycodone may be fatal. Do not mix with other drugs or alcohol.
Onset:
-Oral: 20-40 minutes
-Insufflated: Near Instantly (5-20 seconds)
-IV: Instantly
Peak Benefit:
-Oral: 30-60 minutes
Insufflated: 5-15 minutes
IV: 2-5 minutes
Half-life depends on a lot of factors such as weight, BMI, and metabolism.
