What is Oxycontin?

According to Drugs.com, Oxycontin is a pain reliever medication, similar to morphine. It is a medication that is slowly released in to the body over time to manage pain and is used for moderate to severe kinds of pain.

It can be habit forming and can affect activities such as driving or operating machinery, especially when taken with alcohol. As with all medications, anyone taking Oxycontin should never take more than the prescribed dose and should not share the medication with anyone else.
