Oxycontin OC 60mg

Product Description: OxyContin OC 60mg

Overview:
OxyContin OC 60mg is a high-dose, extended-release opioid medication prescribed for the treatment of severe, chronic pain that requires continuous, long-term management. Each tablet contains 60mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, delivered through a controlled-release mechanism over 12 hours.
