What is OxyContin?
FDA approved as a breakthrough in 1995 as a painkiller
for moderate to severe pain, OxyContin topped at $1 billion in sales
in 2000, making it the number one selling brand-name prescription
painkiller. The active ingredient in OxyContin is oxycodone, a morphine-like
ingredient found in other painkillers such as Percodan and Tylox.
Unlike the other painkillers, OxyContin contains 40-160 mg of oxycodone
opposed to the 5 mg other painkillers are made up of. OxyContin
is supposed to control pain for a 12-hour stretch of time with the
increased amount of oxycodone that is in a time-released formula.
