Millions of people suffer from untreated pain for a variety of illnesses and ailments. In fact, since 1986, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that inadequate treatment of cancer and non-cancer pain is a serious public health concern. Therefore, in the face of this knowledge, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new, controlled release pain reliever in 1995 called Oxycontin.
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opiate manufactured by modifying the chemical thebaine, an organic chemical found in opium. 1 It is the active ingredient in a number of commonly prescribed pain relief medications such as Percocet, Percodan, and Tylox.

Intended use of OxyContin is for long-term relief (up to 12 hours) of moderate to severe pain associated with conditions such as cancer and arthritis. 3 A unique property of OxyContin is that the tablets are time released, that is the effects of the drug and its analgesic properties take effect over a set period of time rather than all at once.
