Oxycontin is a powerful controlled-release pain reliever.
It is an opioid agonist and a schedule II controlled substance that is subject to abuse.
Oxycontin tablets are only to be swallowed. If they are taken broken, crushed, or chewed, they become rapid- rather than controlled-release, and the dose may be fatal.
