Oxycontin

Oxycontin is the extended-release formulation of oxycodone. Oxycontin is only for patients who need continuous long-term pain medication. It is not for “as needed” or for recreational use. oxycontin is used to manage severe pain that requires around-the-clock, daily, long-duration opioid treatment. Also, this medication is prescribed for pain, for which other treatment alternatives are inadequate.
