Dear patient.
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

Blue pill is oxycodone. This is a morphine group of drug which is used medically for pain relief. Your boyfriend needs to be given a long acting opiod like methadone so that the high he feels with oxycodone goes away. He may need to be referred to a opoid deaddiction centre for a comprehensive step down process.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
