Vanishing twin. A vanishing twin, also known as fetal resorption, is a fetus in a multi-gestation pregnancy which dies in utero and is then partially or completely reabsorbed by the twin.
GENERIC NAME: oxycodone. BRAND NAMES: OxyContin, Roxicodone, Oxecta. Oxycodone is prescribed for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term treatment with a narcotic, and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate for the relief of moderate to severe pain.
OxyContin was developed to treat patients with chronic pain. One of the main health benefits of OxyContin is its ability to treat pain for up to 12 hours due to a time-release component within the drug. Over the course of 12 hours, the drug releases Oxycodone. Individuals who abuse OxyContin use alternative methods of administration in order to eliminate the time-release mechanism of the drug. Users often crush the tablet to swallow, snort or smoke the drug.
