Probably a brand name of one of the basic analgesics (pain killer):
Ibruprofen
Acetaminophen (Tylenol is most common)
Aspirin (like Bayer ect...)
or combination of them like Excederin (Acetaminophen, Aspirin, and caffeine; its good with headaches)
Ibruprofen is best as both an analgesic and anti-inflamatory
Tylenol and Aspirin are good analgesics and anti-pyretic (fever reducers); Aspirin is also a good blood thinner (thus the heart patient regime)
Oxycontin and Oxycodone are closely guarded narcotic pain killers that are NOT over the counter but very strong to be sure.
Opiates are pain killers....also perscription only not over the counter
Orudis is an non-steroidal anti-inflamatory like ibruprofen. Here's a link to a website that has a bunch o' information for you:

OXYCOTIN NOR OXYCODONE were NEVER,EVER sold over the counter... believe me!!! If so, I would have rented a Uhaul & backed up to every pharmacy with in a 50 mile raidius. The truck would be filled to copassity Plus maxed every credit card ever made... Just kidding. Those are conrolled drugs that require perscriptions.

Orudis?
While not commonly found anymore, Orudis KT is a good pain reliever and is very similar to ibuprofen. Its active ingredient, ketoprofen, is from the same "family."
I don't think that oxycodone or oxycontin were ever OTC.

Orudis, is the correct answer. It is difficult to find in stores. It really worked for me.
Oxycodone and Oxycontin have to have a doctor's prescription, these work, but are habit-forming.
Look up medications in the Physician's Desk Reference or WebMD.com

Pain O Soma is the best pain killer

Does it have to do with your bone joints? Then it's something like Osteobiflex or some crap like that. Oxycodone and Oxycotin are narcotics and have NEVER been OTC, have to have a doc script..............anyway, good luck and god bless!!!

Oxycontin, Oxycodone....
Not really available anymore, due to how badly it's been misused and taken into illegal trading. Your doctor will have other options available for you, ask about what they can do.
