Purity - CWE on TEVA oxycontins?

[Donmeka]

is it possible to conduct a cold water extraction on TEVA 80mg Oxycontin? if not is it still possible on regular oxycontin? or any other generic?

hmm...swim says why?

the point of the CWE (at least for swim) is to remove the acetomenophen

The tablets contain the following inactive ingredients: ammonio methacrylate copolymer, hypromellose, lactose, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol 400, povidone, sodium hydroxide, sorbic acid, stearyl alcohol, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

...is one simply trying to remove inactives or destroy the xr mechanism?

SWIM is just trying to get all fillers out and have just oxycodone and does not know if it possible with the TEVAs. or should SWIM just do the CWE on some percocets for good results?

swim thinks to get all the fillers out of it one would have to do an A/B extraction...and then they may still have some impurities...the only way swim knows how to get this completely pure would be an a/b extraction along w/ column chromatography and possibly re-x if needed
