OxyContin is a prescription medication containing oxycodone, an opioid used to treat moderate to severe long-term pain. It is formulated as an extended-release tablet, providing continuous relief for patients who need around-the-clock management. Because of its strength and potential for dependence, OxyContin should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. Misuse, such as altering the tablet or exceeding the recommended dose, can cause serious health risks, including overdose. Patients should discuss any side effects with their doctor and follow proper storage guidelines to ensure safe and effective use of OxyContin in pain management.
