Okay, so all this waiting and turns out my insurance won't pay for Oxycotin. I got MS Cotin. Anyone heard of this or taking it? I would like to get some opinions on this before I take my first one.

Anyone know anything about this med?

Thanks

Scooby,

I posted on your other thread, but I will list the same info here to make sure you get it one place or the other. Sorry for the repeat.

Oxycontin is oxycodone HCL time release. It has a back pain effectiveness rating of 8.5

MS contin is morphine sulfate time release. It has the highest back pain effectiveness rating of 10.

I would say, as long as you can take morphine, your pharmacy did you a favor by substituting a stronger med.

Take care.
