OxyContin, an extended-release oxycodone formulation, is a Schedule II controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, requiring a valid prescription from a DEA-registered provider for patients already opioid-tolerant with documented pain unresponsive to alternatives. No refills allowed, with many states capping initial supplies at 7 days and mandating PDMP checks before prescribing.
