OxyContin® is a prescription pain-reliever that was approved by The FDA in 1995. It is narcotic pain reliever and its active ingredient is oxycodone hydrochloride, also in Percodan and Percocet. OxyContin® is prescribed in tablet form and designed to be swallowed whole. Its controlled-release formula delivers a large (up to 160 milligrams) dose of oxycodone over a 12-hour period, providing sustained relief for the chronic pain of conditions such as cancer or severe arthritis. Opiates or Opioids such as OxyContin®, Heroin, Methadone and Vicodin work by attaching themselves to certain receptors in the brain and spinal cord and blocking pain from going to the brain. In 2000, 5.8 million prescriptions for OxyContin® were written, making it the most prescribed Schedule II narcotic in the United States, (Hutchinson, 2002).
