Looking for an OxyContin coupon? OxyContin is the brand name for oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release, a long-acting Schedule II opioid FDA-approved for managing pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment when other options are not enough.

What is OxyContin and how does it work?
OxyContin is an extended-release formulation of oxycodone hydrochloride, an opioid agonist and Schedule II (C-II) narcotic analgesic. It is FDA-approved for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatments (such as non-opioid pain relievers or immediate-release opioids) are inadequate. The extended-release design lets the medicine work over an extended period rather than all at once.
OxyContin is not for as-needed (PRN) pain and is not intended for mild pain or short-term or post-surgical pain. It is approved in adults and, in pediatric patients 11 years of age and older, only in patients who are already opioid-tolerant and require and tolerate a minimum daily opioid dose. This page is for general education and is not medical advice; how OxyContin is used should always be decided with your prescriber.
OxyContin cost: manufacturer savings vs. the Rx.com cash coupon
You may have heard that a generic can lower your cost, but that option is limited for OxyContin. A generic of oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release has been FDA-approved, but it is not currently marketed in the US, so a substitutable generic is generally not available to fill at the pharmacy in place of brand-name OxyContin. Because of this, most patients are dispensed brand-name OxyContin, which makes comparing cash prices worthwhile.
OxyContin's manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, has run patient savings and assistance programs through its official website, but manufacturer copay cards are generally limited to people with commercial (non-government) insurance and are typically not available if you are uninsured or covered by Medicare or Medicaid; program terms and eligibility vary and can change. The Rx.com cash coupon works differently: it is a discount on the cash price that anyone can use, including the uninsured, people on Medicare, or anyone whose manufacturer card is declined. Because OxyContin is a controlled substance, pharmacy stock and pricing can vary, so enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.
OxyContin vs. other pain medicines
OxyContin contains only extended-release oxycodone. This is different from combination products and from other opioids your prescriber might consider:
- Oxycodone - the same active ingredient; immediate-release oxycodone is widely available as a generic, while extended-release oxycodone is marketed as brand-name OxyContin.
- Percocet - combines oxycodone with acetaminophen and is an immediate-release product, not an around-the-clock extended-release opioid.
- Hydrocodone - a different opioid, commonly used in combination products.
- Morphine - another Schedule II opioid available in extended-release forms.
- Tramadol - a different, generally less potent opioid analgesic.
Which medicine fits depends on your pain, your opioid tolerance, and your other conditions. Only your prescriber can determine the right choice and dose.
Important safety information
OxyContin carries an FDA boxed warning. Key points include: risk of addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death; life-threatening respiratory depression, especially when starting or increasing the dose; the fact that accidental ingestion of even one dose, especially by a child, can be fatal; neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome with prolonged use in pregnancy; risks from CYP3A4 drug interactions that can change oxycodone levels; and profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death when combined with benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other CNS depressants. OxyContin is subject to a REMS program and higher strengths are not for opioid-naive patients.
Tablets must be swallowed whole and never broken, crushed, chewed, or dissolved, because doing so can release a potentially fatal dose all at once. Keep OxyContin secured and out of reach of children and others. This is not a complete list of warnings; read the medication guide and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your full health history and every medicine you take.
