OxyContin, Purdue Pharma's controlled-release form of the painkiller oxycodone, usually begins entering the bloodsteam within 15 minutes of ingestion and usually reaches "first sign of relief" level within 30-45 minutes. Peak concentration and effectiveness is reached in approximately 2 hours, and the dose contionues to be effective for 12 hours.
(OxyContin is designed for use in a long-term program of relief for chronic pain under medical supervision, and should not be used as an occasional medication.)

Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.
