Street Names & Brand Names For Oxycodone

Discovered in 1916 in Germany and first approved for medical use in the United States in 1939, oxycodone is a potent semi-synthetic opioid painkiller prescribed to manage moderate to severe pain or, in extended-release formulations, chronic pain.

However, oxycodone medications are also commonly abused and command high prices on the street and online.

This high demand and widespread abuse of brand name and generic oxycodone drugs has seen the rise of various street names and slang terms as well as the illicit counterfeiting of oxycodone medications with fentanyl or other hazardous ingredients.

Street Names For Oxycodone

Oxycodone is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning that any improper sale, use, or even possession of oxycodone is considered a felony under federal and state laws.

As a result, those who sell and abuse prescription drugs tend to use a wide variety of ever-evolving casual nicknames and street names for drugs like oxycodone. Street names tend to play off the drug’s name, brand names, physical properties, or effects.
