Please advise what is the difference between oxycodone and oxycontin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None.: Oxycontin is a long-acting preparation of oxycodone. So, there is really no difference in terms of either effectiveness for pain or in addictive potential. It's best to use take this medication only when prescribed by a physician and even then for very short periods of time for non-cancer pain.
