OxyContin 80 mg is a strong prescription opioid medication used for the management of severe chronic pain that requires continuous, long-term treatment with an opioid, and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.

It contains oxycodone, a potent opioid agonist that works on the brain’s opioid receptors to relieve pain. The extended-release formulation provides pain control for 12 hours per dose, making it suitable for around-the-clock pain management.
