Product Description: OxyContin OP 10mg
Overview:
OxyContin OP 10mg is a prescription extended-release opioid medication formulated to provide long-lasting pain relief for patients experiencing severe, chronic pain that requires continuous, around-the-clock treatment. Each tablet contains 10mg of oxycodone hydrochloride, a potent opioid analgesic, delivered over a 12-hour period.
