OxyContin is an extended-release formulation of oxycodone, designed to provide long-lasting pain relief for patients with chronic pain. It is specifically engineered to release medication gradually, allowing for consistent pain management over an extended period. While OxyContin is effective for severe pain, it carries a significant risk of addiction and misuse. Side effects may include drowsiness, constipation, and respiratory depression. Patients should adhere strictly to their healthcare provider’s dosing guidelines and have regular follow-ups to ensure safe and effective use. It’s crucial to communicate any concerns or side effects with a healthcare professional.
