OxyContin, the brand name for extended-release oxycodone, is a potent prescription opioid medication primarily used for managing chronic, severe pain that requires around-the-clock treatment. Developed by Purdue Pharma, OxyContin was introduced in the mid-1990s as a breakthrough in pain management due to its sustained-release formulation, providing continuous pain relief over an extended period, typically 12 hours per dose.
