For all chronic pain patients this is a breakthrough in US pharamaceutical practices. This Opana or Oxymorphone is the closet thig we have to extended release forms of palladone or hydromorphone. 6-8 times more potent than morphine!

Not so fast my friend. Yes it's true oxymorphone is about 10x over Morphine but there is a small matter of something called ORAL-BIO-AVAILABILITY. That means when you eat it, how much is destroyed by the first pass through your liver. Now Oxymorphone INJECTED INTO A VEIN OR MUSCLE IS 10X OVER MORPHINE BUT Opana and Opana ER taken ORALLY ONLY HAS A 10% ORAL-BIO-AVAILABILITY! That means when you take a 40mg pill you are only really getting 4 mg!! That is worse than hydromorphone Dilaudid which is 25%. So don't get too excited.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Cancer

Buoyed with confidence, you embrace the moment even as you throw yourself into the uncertain future. You aren't sure what's going to come next - and no one else is, either - but the influence of the Moon ensures that you're ready for just about anything. What may seem like completely spontaneous decisions are actually coming from knowledge deep within you. If you have a plan in mind to get you what you want, this is the time to implement it. Business and romantic rivals can't compete with you at the moment.
