This process works by exploiting the differences in solubility (with respect to temperature) of varying substances, such as with common opiate-derived drugs that have been mixed with common non-opiate based analgesics, which occurs in Tylenol 3 and Vicodin.
This process works by exploiting the differences in solubility (with respect to temperature) of different substances in a mixture. It is commonly used to separate out opiate-derived drugs that have been mixed with common non-opiate-based analgesics, such as are found in Tylenol 3, Zaldiar and Vicodin.
