Oxycontin is Oxycodone, just in a higher MG per dose... regular Oxycodone, mixed with Tylenol is Percocet, Oxycontin has no acetomenaphin in it, its just straight Oxycodone... Oxycontin is what generally gets people hooked on Heroin, because they graduated from taking regular Percocets, to taking Oxys, then the Oxy doesnt get them high anymore, so they move on to Heroin... its a viscous opiate, and shouldnt be taken if you dont need it...
