No, that's a different drug (pitocin). Oxycontin is a narcotic pain medicine in a time-release formula. It gives chronic pain patients (with severe arthritis, cancer, etc) long and steady relief, without the peaks and valleys of fast-acting drugs. Abuser's thwart the slow-release formula by grinding up the pills and snorting them or injecting solution containing the ground-up pills.
