Hydrocodone is a fast-acting pain reliever for mild/severe pain that is often prescribed to take as needed for pain not surpassing a certain amount over a period of time, such as no more than one every 4-6 hours. Oxycontin is a time-released pain reliever for severe/chronic pain that is prescribed at certain intervals of time, such as every 8 hours. You take Oxycontin at given, prescribed intervals due to the time release.
