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.
Narcotics, including oxycodone and OxyContin, are prescribed to alleviate very severe pain, such as might follow surgery, a car crash or some other traumatic injury. While narcotics are very effective, they are also highly addictive. The main difference between oxycodone and OxyContin is that oxycodone is a generic drug rather than a brand name. Neither oxycodone or OxyContin should be taken for more than three to four months, according to the National Institutes of Health.
