Oxycontin and liver damage?

[hygieneguru]

Does anyone know if long term use of Oxycontin for chronic pain can cause toxic hepatitis or medication induced hepatitis????? I have been taking it for 5 years for severe back pain.

no oxycodone and hydrocodone are not the same thing while very similar chemically they still are not the same so oxycodone + acetaminophen does not = vicodin percocet yes but not vicodin. also oxycontin does not contain any nsaid or other types of anti inflamatories it is simply time released oxycodone.

I used to be stoner but got too old and all it does it make me paranoid now.  I ended up hiding somewhere with this cheezy grin on my face.  I hate old age!
