What Is The Difference Between Oxycodone And Oxycontin?
My bottle says that the Oxycodone is a substitute for for Oxycontin. Is it Percocet or morphine or what?
Comments
Oxycodone is the active ingredient in OxyContin. OxyContin contains oxycodone in a time-release formula that slowly releases the oxycodone over a period of 8-12 hours. Regular oxycodone is released all at once and lasts only 4-6 hours.
OxyContin is very popular for chronic pain because you only need to take two or three pills a day instead of four to six pills a day. It also allows chronic pain patients to get a full night’s sleep without waking up in the middle of the night in pain.
Oxycodone must be the generic name for Oxycontin which is a trademarked name. Both are time released narcotic pain relievers. I didn’t think they made that anymore.
Percocet is codeine and acetomenophin (tylenol). and is not time released
The Oxycontin was made so people didn’t have to take pills every 4 hours and to head off the pain before it starts again, much more comfortable.
no, oxy codone is oxycontin and tylenol(too much will destroy your liver)
oxycontin is just oxycontin
they are all similar
