generic have a different binder which is harder to snort
Oxycontin is pure oxycodone, while Watson brand oxycodone is genaric and contains acetominofen which is Tylenol. if you are using it recreationally id suggest staying away from genaric pills with acetominofen because it can become toxic to the liver causing it to shut down in high doses.

I am not sure I understand your question. As far as Oxycodone (instant release), I don't believe Purdue, the maker of brand name Oxycontin even makes a brand name Oxcodone.
If you are talking about Oxycontin (controlled release) which is released into your system slowly, it was originally produced by the Purdue company. At this time, they have given Watson permission to make, sell and distribute this drug, so I am assuming that it is made to Purdues quality and control.
Many people get confused as to what the difference is between oxycodone and Oxycontin.
Oxycodone is the name of the drug. It can be combined with acetaminphen (Percocet, Tylox, to name a few) or aspirin (Percodan is one brand name). It is also combined in cough surpressants and other medications.
Oxycontin (the "contin" means continious) is sold in different strengths, and is used alone soley for time released pain relief. This medications is suppose to last for up to 12 hours, but many times people have episodes of "breakthrough pain" and they are also given oxycodone to help get them through, until their next dose of the contolled release med.
It is important that you never break or chew Oxycontin, as you will then get the entire dose which could cause an overdose.

∙ 12y agoNo. Oxycodone is the main ingredient in Oxycontin. Oxycontin is just the brand name of the pill. For instance an 80mg Oxycontin means it has 80mg of oxycodone in it.

What is the difference between Oxycontin and oxycodone?
Oxycodone is found in fast-acting opiates such as Percocet(which also contains tylenol), Roxicodone, and is also in Oxycontin. The only difference between oxycodone and Oxycontin is, Oxycontin is time-released. It distributes its oxycodone slowly over a period of 12 hours, as long as the pill is not cut up or smashed. The 'contin' in 'Oxycontin' stands for continuous.

Supeudol is a type of painkiller medication in the opiods family. Similar to oxycontin, percocet, etc, it contains the drug oxycodone. The main difference between Supeudol and other opiates is the fact that supeudol releases the oxycodone quickly, instead of the timed release oxycontin.

Difference between Oxycodin and Oxycotin?
oxycodin is either a misspelling for oxycodone or Oxycontin. Oxycontin is pure oxycodone into a pill, with inert binders. It is the name of the pill. Oxycodone is the name of the chemical in the pill. Technically they are the same thing... "Technically they are the same thing..." >>>Not really true. Oxycodone is the drug itself, yes. Oxycontin is a time-release version of the medication. If you look at two medications, one oxycodone and one Oxycontin, then you are looking at an immediate-release pill and a time-release pill. Be very careful with these drugs. Taking too many can make you very, very sick, and Oxycontin should NEVER be crushed or broken.

Difference between oxycodone hcl and oxycodone imm rel?
both of the medications are fast acting, but the oxycodone 30 mg imm rel is IMMEDIATE RELEASE. There will not be a "time release" film on the pill unlike on an OxyContin. The only disadvantage is that you have to make sure you take the meds at the right time, usually every four hours, or however your doctor recommends.
What is the difference between oxycodine and oxycontine?
First, I'm assuming you are referring to Oxycodone (Oxycodine is a common misspelling of Oxycodone). To answer your question they are the same drug... Oxycontin contains Oxycodone, the only difference being that Oxycontin is designed as a time-released version of Oxycodone over 8-12 hours. Oxycontin pills go as high as 160mg per dose. That is why people overdose so easily on Oxycontin when they are chewed up and swallowed or crushed to snort/inject. The high dose hits them all at once rather than being released over several hours. This can be very lethal unless the individual has already been taking the drug for a while and their body has built a sufficient tolerance to it.
How does a urine drug screen tell the difference between Oxcycontin and oxcycodone?
Oxycontin is just a time release version of oxycodone. I take oxycodone 15mg, which is fast acting, you can get Oxycontin in 60 or 80mg but it is made to work over a longer time period, some people get into trouble with Oxycontin because they break time release by chewing it, this is very dangerous to put that much oxycodone in your system at once. The only way a test would detect the "difference" is by the amount in your system but not the drug. If you chew up an Oxycontin 60 it will show up the same as if you took 4 oxycodone 15mg. It's the same drug, just different concentrations.
