OxyContin (oxycodone) is an opioid pain medication sometimes called a narcotic. OxyContin is a strong prescription medicine used when an opioid medicine is needed to manage severe pain enough to require daily around-the-clock, long-term treatment with an opioid, when other pain treatments such as non-opioid pain medicines or immediate-release opioid medicines do not treat your pain well enough or you cannot tolerate them. OxyContin is not to be used on an as-needed basis for pain that is not around-the-clock.
