OxyContin, also available as Oxycodone, is an
opioid medication (sometimes known as narcotics) for pain.It is a strong prescription medicine helpful when one needs an opioid drug to manage severe pain enough to treat daily long-term treatment with an opioid where other pain treatments such as immediate-release opioid medicines or non-opioid pain medications are unable to treat well enough, or you cannot tolerate them. One must not use OxyContin for around-the-clock pain on an as-needed basis.
