About

Oxycontin is a powerful prescription medication used to treat severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics, which work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain. Oxycontin is a controlled-release formulation of oxycodone, providing long-lasting pain relief for individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions. When taken as directed by a healthcare provider, Oxycontin can significantly improve the quality of life for those dealing with persistent pain.
