💊 Usage Overview Oxycodone is a prescription opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pain when non-opioid options are insufficient. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, lowering the perception of pain. Oxycodone should be used only under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional and typically for the shortest duration necessary. Ongoing medical review helps reduce risks such as tolerance, dependence, and respiratory depression. 👨⚕️ Dosage Guidance Dosing is individualized. Immediate-release formulations often begin at 5–10 mg every 4–6 hours as needed, while extended-release products follow a fixed schedule set by your clinician. Capsules or tablets must be swallowed whole with water—do not crush, chew, or split. Any dose adjustment should be made by a doctor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safety Notes Prescription-only medication. Avoid alcohol and sedatives, store securely, and report side effects promptly to ensure safe, responsible use.
