Who makes oxycotin and is there any assistance paying for medication
Purdue is the company that makes Oxycontin. They do have a program that helps people get their meds. Before I qualified for Medicare they helped me for a year. It goes by your income. Purdue Patient Assistance

I also have two other pharmaceutical companies who are willing to help if you need more information. I was able to get help with my pain meds, my muscle relaxers, and seizure meds. The oxycontin and oxycodone cost me $ 25.00 per prescription per month.The seizure med was free and the muscle relaxer was $10.00 per month. They sent the meds by Fed-ex and you have to sign for them. Because of their help I didn't have to miss even one month. Oh I forgot, I also got help with my anti-depressant. It was also free. So therefore I have three companies besides what's above if you need more help. All you have to do is have your doc write the prescription early so they have time to mail them to you.

I retired from Dept of Social Services. The local DSS office in ur area can tell u best. In our county DSS does help with medication cost, if the medication/s is used in helping ur overall health, like High blood pressure pills, Diabities meds/injections ect...
I have never heard of a place that will help with any kind of pain meds. Good luck in ur seach.
