What is OxyContin?

OxyContin is an opioid (narcotic) pain medication used to relieve severe ongoing pain that is not controlled by other pain treatments. OxyContin contains oxycodone, a strong pain reliever that helps reduce pain by activating opioid receptors in the nervous system. OxyContin is an extended-release tablet that is taken every 12 hours regularly, it is not for occasional use or to be taken “as needed” for pain. As it is a long-acting opioid pain medicine it can put you at risk for overdose and death.Buy OxyContin Online

OxyContin can only be prescribed for pediatric patients 11 years of age and older who are already taking and can tolerate a minimum daily opioid dose of at least 20 mg of oxycodone orally or its equivalent.Buy OxyContin Online
