oxycodone's effects usually last approx 4-6 hours.

The doctor should know what suits her best for her cindition.
I am in the medical field particularly Chronic pain Managment.
There is a BIG difference in oxycontin vs oxycodone.
The difference is Percocet is oxycodone(generic name) mixed with Acetomenophen (tylenol) and bunch of other buffers that account for 20% of the drug. So its weaker and less potential for geting totally hooked on it...
Oxycontin is Extended release oxycodone but PURE OPIATE. If she doesn't have to i say don't go that route right away because there is no way back to percoscet from OXY.
But i am not her doctor. so...
Please come back and say what kind of surgery and why she is getting two very different options of RX's.
