Dear Ann Marie, I am not sure of the difference between the Oxy contin & MS Contin, but I do know that the MS Contin is morphine. It is very constipating. I am currently on 60 mg 2 x day. My dr will be prescribing 40mg 2 x day for after I have surgery. My surgery is on June 3 with DR Korell in Duisburg, Germany. Good luck with your follow up appointment. robin M
