This drug is used to treat extremely persistent pain, such as cancer-related pain. The group of medications known as opioid analgesics includes oxycodone. It alters how your body perceives and reacts to pain by acting on the brain.Only use the larger doses of this medication (more than 40 milligrammes per tablet) if you have been taking moderate to high doses of an opioid painkiller on a regular basis. If someone who has not been taking opioids consistently takes these strengths, it could result in overdose or even death.Never take oxycodone extended-release to treat minor pain or discomfort that will go away in a few days.
Precautions
If you have any allergies, including those to other opioid painkillers like oxymorphone, tell your doctor or chemist before using oxycodone. Inactive chemicals in this product have the potential to trigger allergic reactions or other issues. To learn more, speak with your chemist.
