The problem with Oxycontin is that it's supposed to have a twelve hour window of action and doesn't. Doctors prescribe larger doses rather than more frequent ones because that's what the label says. That's the language the FDA approved. Repeated cycles of high dosage wearing off a few hours too early is a bad thing, builds up more tolerance than consistency. http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/ http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/
