Oxaydo

Drug Details

Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic prescribed for managing moderate to severe pain, especially when non-opioid pain relievers are ineffective. It works by binding to specific mu-opioid receptors in the brain, altering the body’s perception of pain. Available in immediate-release forms such as tablets, capsules, and liquid, oxycodone is typically taken orally every 4 to 6 hours as necessary. While it effectively alleviates pain, common side effects may include constipation, drowsiness, and dizziness. Due to its potential for misuse and dependence, oxycodone is categorized as a controlled substance. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and to ensure safe use.
