What Does The 'pur' On My Oxycontin Mean
UpdatedJust trying to find out what the PUR on my oxycodone bottle means. I'm guessing it's a form of sustained release, but just wanted to know the medical terminology. Thanks!

That stands for the manufacturer, which in this case would be Purdue Pharma.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possible including nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation, and dry mouth. It also carries the risk of being habit forming.
Currently, Oxycontin is only available from this manufacturer and it is only available as a time released formulation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
