How to use Oxycontin

Take this medication on a regular schedule as directed by your doctor, not as needed for sudden pain. Take this drug with or without food, usually every 12 hours. If you have nausea, it may help to take this drug with food. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea; such as lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as possible. If nausea persists, see your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole. Do not break, crush, chew, or dissolve the tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of oxycodone overdose.
