Oxycontin is controlled release oxycodone preparation and is a opioid medication. It releases this active ingredient slowly, providing pain relief for up to 12 hours.

Side-effects: Nausea, constipation, sweating, itching, drowsiness. If you feel drowsy, you should not drive or operate any machinery. Usually the side effects settle with time (except constipation - for which, eating more fibre, drinking more water or taking a laxative or stool softener might help).
