All medicines have benefits and risks. The risks of medicines are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use Oxycontin. Risks could be less serious things, such as an upset stomach, or more serious things, such as liver damage. FDA approves a drug for marketing after determining that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks. It is important that Oxycontin is monitored for side effects. Sometimes Oxycontin side effects can be reduced with the right treatment.
