Hi,

MS Contin is an extended release morphine. It has the same mechanism of action of Oxycodone to relieve pain. Both of them are prescribed for moderate to severe pain relief. Tylenol has a different mechanism of action and taken for mild to moderate pain relief.

If you stop Oxycodone by gradually by decreasing the dose. Oxycodone 10 mg is equivalent to 15 mg morphine. But before any change in the doses, please, consult with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
