Official Answer
by Drugs.comVantrela ER (hydrocodone bitartrate) extended-release tablets are formulated with Teva Pharmaceutical's abuse-deterrent technology that results in properties that are expected to reduce, but not totally prevent, oral, intranasal and intravenous abuse of the drug when the tablets are manipulated.
Teva's proprietary abuse-deterrent technology is based on a multi-layer gel-forming polymer coating that regulates drug release.
