Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Both Roxycontin and Oxycontin contain the same medication Oxycodone as the active ingredient. Oxycodone is a narcotic/opioid pain reliever. The benefit is that it is very potent and relieves pain by blocking the pain perception nerves and areas in the brain
Hope this answers your question
