Oxycodone is a potent prescription drug medication primarily used for managing moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain and producing feelings of euphoria. This can be beneficial for patients recovering from surgery or those with chronic pain conditions. Oxycodone is available in various formulations, including immediate-release and extended-release tablets, as well as combination medications that include other analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. While effective for pain relief, oxycodone carries a significant risk of dependence, addiction, and overdose, especially when misused or taken in higher doses than prescribed. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, constipation, and nausea. Long-term use can lead to tolerance, requiring higher doses for the same effect.
