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.
