Oxycontin does not contain tylenol - the main ingredient is oxycodone, encased in a slow-release covering. The difference between Oxycontin and MS Contin is that the latter is morphine, encased in the slow-release covering. Percocet is the drug that contains both oxycodone and tylenol, but NOT in a slow-release formula. Vicodin is hydrocodone with tylenol, also not slow-release. I hope that this helps anyone who might have been confused! D. IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
