About

The primary objective of this study is to compare the relative abuse potential of two different doses of orally administered Acurox Tablets to orally administered immediate-release (IR) oxycodone HCl tablets in non-dependent recreational opioid users.

Full description

In the tretament phase, 5 treatments administered were oxycodone HCl/niacin tablets as follows: (A) 40/0 mg, (B) 80/0 mg, (C) (40/240 mg, (D) 80/480 mg and (E) 0/0 mg. Each treatment was administered as a single dose of 8 tablets once a day at approximately the same time each day. All doses were given with water, and all 8 tablets were to be swallowed in 5 minutes. Doses were separated by 48 (± 1) hours. All subjects received each treatment in a randomized sequence using a Williams design.
