Cost Difference Between OxyContin, Percocet, And Oxycodone On The Street

OxyContin and oxycodone both contain the active ingredient oxycodone.

The difference between the two is that generic oxycodone is an immediate-release version that lasts for about five to six hours, while OxyContin is a brand name version meant to last all day.

On the street, a pill of generic oxycodone will cost around $12-$40. OxyContin can go for much higher, at around $50-$80 per pill, mostly due to its brand name.

Percocet is a brand-name pill of oxycodone mixed with acetaminophen. Percocet will cost less, at around $10-$20 per pill, because it contains less of the narcotic oxycodone.
