About
Oxycodone is a strong prescription opioid often prescribed for intense pain management. It operates by attaching to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain. Due to its high potential for addiction and side effects, it should be administered strictly according to a doctor's instructions, with careful monitoring. They are 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 60mg, and 80mg.
