Who should not take OxyContin?
Before buying and taking OxyContin, let a doctor know if you have any prior medical conditions, and provide as many details as possible about your medical history. You should also let the doctor know of any prescription or non-prescription medicines that you are currently taking or plan to take (and thus would overlap). Both these matters are important, because in some instances, the doctor may need to adjust the patient’s dosage or suggest special monitoring. See our other important OxyContin links above to the right, including information on other possible side effects of using OxyContin. We also have a detailed list of pain relievers that may be considered as possible alternatives to OxyContin.
