No difference, except in the naming. The active ingredient in Roxicodone is oxycodone, so essentially they are one and the same. Oxycodone is also found in Percocet, OxyContin, OxyFast, etc. Some of these meds are short acting, while OxyContin is a sustained release medication. Also worth mentioning is Roxicodone has no APAP, similar to OxyIR, and is often administered to chronic pain patients with liver problems.

∙ 11y agoThe drugs themselves are the same. The preparations are different. Oxycontin contains more oxycodone than percocet, but it is also prepared as a "sustained release", or "time release". This means they can give a large dose, which will slowly be released over a period of time to maintain a steady concentration in the body.

Can oxycoton and oxycodone be in the same pill?
did you read anything about this subject before asking the question. anyway, Oxycontin (not oxycoton) is just a brand name of oxycodone. the brand Oxycontin just implies that the oxycodone is in an extended release form and does not contain high amounts of another (usually OTC) pain killer such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen. did you read anything about this subject before asking the question. anyway, Oxycontin (not oxycoton) is just a brand name of oxycodone. the brand Oxycontin just implies that the oxycodone is in an extended release form and does not contain high amounts of another (usually OTC) pain killer such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
You mixed Oxycontin with oxycodine is that going to kill you?
The only difference between the two are in the way they are bound. Oxycontin is nothing more than time released Oxycodone. Contin coming from the word "continuous" as in continuous release. Just as MS Contin is Morphine Sulphate (continuous realease). They are deffinitely interchangable. At least that's what my doctor told me when I was prescribed both together..... BG
