Business Description

OxyContin is a brand name for a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient oxycodone. Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic, which means it is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. OxyContin is an extended-release formulation of oxycodone, designed to provide pain relief over an extended period of time, typically around 12 hours.

OxyContin, like other opioids, works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which reduces the perception of pain. It is often prescribed for individuals with chronic pain, cancer-related pain, and post-surgical pain. The extended-release nature of OxyContin allows for more consistent pain control over a longer duration, compared to immediate-release opioids.
