What are the uses of oxycontin?


Question:
I saw a friend of mine use this. I was just wondering what it might be for. I wanted to ask her, but I haven't gotten around to it just yet.

Answers:
Oxycontin is another formulation of oxycodone. It can be used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain such as muscle pain, pain associated with traumas, dislocations, injuries, fractures, arthritis, neuralgia, lower back pain, as well as pain related to cancer. However, this drug has the potential of bringing about serious side effects, and thus, intake of this drug would have to be monitored. The treatment should be assessed continuously as well as adjusted. This can be addictive as well, so it might be good to warn your friend about this.
It is used medically as a pain killer, but chances are your friend's using it to get high.
