No. The absorption of any opiate depends on the form (liquid/solid/gas) and the route of administration (oral, intravenous, rectal, inhaled). While there are some advantages of certain routes of administration which bypass initial degradation by the liver, for the most part rectal administration (ie "up the butt") is not likely to lead to higher or quicker blood levels. IF you wanted to have greater rectal absorption, I would suggest a liquid, an opiate with greater absorption characteristics (fentanyl, for example) and prolonged contact time (holding an enema for example). This still has the dangers of overdose (death or respiratory depression with aspiration) since it is hard to judge the effect in advance. I would suggest sticking to swallowing your oxycodone.

What are the benefits of oxycodone rather than hydrocodone?
The only difference is the potency of the drug - Oxycodone is a stronger opiate than Hydrocodone is. For a pain patient, the decision to move to a stronger drug is usually based on the lower strength drug not being able to do the job in current doses, or if the patient has to take more to deal with the pain. Fewer doses of a drug to deal with a problem is always more preferable to having increase the dose of one that isn't working as well.

Does oxycotin have codeine in it?
No, oxycodone does not have codeine in it. This drug is in Percocet (and others), which is a bit stronger than codeine. I don't know what prescription you (may) have, but often, the Percocet will also have aspirin or acetominophen (Tylenol) in it as well. This is called a "compound" drug because it has two different medications in it.
Will 15 mg of percocet and 5mg of percocet show as the same on a drug test?
If you take oxycodone 30mg or 5mg the drug test will show up with just oxycodone in your system. The average life span in your urine is 3 days. The only type of testing that would show quantity is a toxicology test. Who is gonna get that? Someone who died of an overdose. Fyi - Oxycodone is percocet. If your taking a 30mg tablet you will not have any Tylenol in the pill. Percocet is oxycodone and Tylenol. And usually is prescribed as 5mg. Percodan is oxycodone and ibuprofen. If you are worried that your doctor will find out you are taking much more oxycodone than you are prescribed, don't. If you are worried about the actual drug showing up in a drug test, stop 3 days before the test.
What is the difference between loritab and oxycodone?
Lorcet is a brand name drug consisting of 10 mg of hydrocodone and 650 mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol). As a generic it is normally written "hydrocodone/APAP 10/650." Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid with a potency equal to morphine. Hydrocodone is also found in several other combination drugs including Vicodin, Lortab, Norco, and Vicoprofen. Oxycodone is, like hydrocodone, a semi-synthetic opioid however it is considerably more potent. Oxycodone is found as a single preparation drug (OxyIR), as a combination drug (Percocet, Percodan), and as a controlled-release drug (OxyContin). Under US law Lorcet it a schedule III drug and all drugs containing oxycodone are placed in the more restrictive schedule II.

Is percocet tested for in urine tests?
Yes, Basic drug urine tests (5 panel drug test) that test for "opiates" detect morphine. Morphine is not a major metabolite of oxycodone ( Percocet), but frequent recent use of oxycodone may leave enough morphine in the body to be detected .Oxycodone is detectable by several inexpensive urine drug tests (expanded test which includes 5 basic drugs and combination of 3, 4,5, etc.. additional drugs)and more expensive (GC/MS and HPLC) laboratoray testing.
