Maybe, maybe not. I mean, Teva oxycodone HCl is arguably still a prescription opioid, even if it's been obtained without a prescription.
I have to blame the language barrier, thanks for pointing this out. I assumed prescription drugs as being prescribed.
It is an ambiguous construction. And abuse can include doctor shopping to get multiple concurrent prescriptions.
