Oxycodone is the number one ingredient in oxycontin, but the difference is in the length of time the drug is effective.

Well, for one oxycontin is a brand name painkiller that is oxycodone in its purest form and it is time released. Oxycodone only lasts half to time of oxycontin and contains additional ingredients like tylenol.
