Greek mythology also includes a number of monsters and strange creatures such as the one-eyed Cyclops in the Odysseus story, a gigantic boar in the fabled Kalydonian hunt, sphinxes, giant snakes, fire-breathing bulls and more.
Best Answer: No they aren't the same. I was prescribed Oxycontin and Oxycodone because I have lung cancer. The Oxycontin was taken twice a day every day, and the Oxycodone was taken whenever I had breakthrough pain in between. The doctor switched me to Morphine Sulfate because the Oxy's weren't working that great.
Nope, they aren't the same. Oxycodone is a potent synthetic narcotic. Synthetic as in lab-created. Oxycontin is a modified version of oxycodone with a time-released feature. Typically, a 5 mg. oxycodone pill has about a 3.5 to 4 hour life, depending on the level of pain. People couldn't get through the night without waking up in pain.
