About
Oxycodone is a prescription opioid medication that is used to treat pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which reduces the sensation of pain. Oxycodone is often prescribed for moderate to severe pain that is not relieved by other pain medications. It can be taken in immediate-release or extended-release formulations, depending on the duration of pain relief needed. Oxycodone has a high potential for abuse and addiction, and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to share oxycodone with others. The Tablets available in Oxycodone 5mg, Oxycodone 10mg, Oxycodone 15mg, Oxycodone 20mg, Oxycodone 30mg, Oxycodone 40mg, Oxycodone 60mg, and Oxycodone 80mg.
