Oxycontin is an opioid analgesic that comes in controlled release and extended-release formulations. Oxycontin generic tablets are available under the name oxycodone. You can buy oxycontin online for severe acute or chronic pain that lasts for the long term. Doctors generally prescribe the medication to people who have used opioid analgesics before and have a tolerance for them. The medicine typically comes as ER or OC formulations; however, several manufacturers also selloxycontin IR or immediate-release version.
Oxycontin effects include analgesia due to the activation of mu-opioid receptors (MOR). The medicine binds to the MOR and changes the way how our body feels and responds to pain. Oxycontin generic pills are also useful as a pain reliever, but they treat moderate degrees of pain.
