What is the brand name for oxycodone?

What brand names does oxycodone go by?

Oxycodone’s brand name depends on the exact formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release). Common U.S. brand names include OxyContin (extended-release) and Roxicodone (immediate-release).

Why do oxycodone brands differ (IR vs ER)?

Immediate-release oxycodone products are typically branded differently than extended-release versions because they’re designed to release the drug at different speeds, which affects dosing schedules and labeling.

How can I confirm the brand name on a prescription?

The brand name will usually appear on your prescription label (for example, OxyContin vs. Roxicodone). If you share the exact label wording (or the strength and whether it’s “extended-release” or “immediate-release”), I can help identify which product it matches.
