First, I'm assuming you are referring to Oxycodone (Oxycodine is a common misspelling of Oxycodone). To answer your question they are the same drug... Oxycontin contains Oxycodone, the only difference being that Oxycontin is designed as a time-released version of Oxycodone over 8-12 hours. Oxycontin pills go as high as 160mg per dose. That is why people overdose so easily on Oxycontin when they are chewed up and swallowed or crushed to snort/inject. The high dose hits them all at once rather than being released over several hours. This can be very lethal unless the individual has already been taking the drug for a while and their body has built a sufficient tolerance to it.

Oxycodone is the name of the actual opiate. OxyContin is a 12 hour sustained release form of Oxycodone.

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
