I did not know that....it is simply Percocet/Percodan in larger doses time released without the aspirin or tylenol (that I know of)

I am not sure about oxycontin being off the market, but I am sure that there is a lot of controversy concerning this drug. It is an opiate. It is considered more addictive than heroine. It is highly effective for pain relief and many people have benefitted from that fact. However, because of it's highly addictive nature caution needs to be taken regarding the type of pain it is prescribed to assist.
