Since its development in the 1910s as an alternative to heroin and morphine, oxycodone has moved from a prescription pain reliever to a widely abused and highly addictive drug. Through objective overviews, primary sources, and full color illustrations this title examines How Serious a Problem Is Oxycodone Abuse? What Impact Does Oxycodone Abuse Have on Health? Should the Government Do More to Control Oxycodone? How Can Oxycodone Abuse Be Prevented?
