Oxycodone is a prescription opioid analgesic used for managing moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, effectively altering the body’s pain perception. Oxycodone is often prescribed after surgeries or for chronic pain conditions. While effective, it carries a risk of addiction, dependence, and side effects such as drowsiness, constipation, and nausea. Patients are advised to use oxycodone only as directed by their healthcare provider and to avoid alcohol and other sedatives. Regular consultations are essential for monitoring pain management and adjusting the treatment plan as needed.
