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.
OxyContin (oxycodone) is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. OxyContin is used to treat moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for an extended period of time. OxyContin is used for around-the-clock treatment of pain. It is not to be used on an as-needed basis for pain.
