Oxycodone-10-mg

Oxycodone is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs, called Opioids. Opioids are the drug family that works by attaching to the opioid receptors present in body areas including neurons of the brain, gastrointestinal tract, and spinal cord. By attaching to the opioid receptors they help to reduce pain and give the feeling of euphoria. Oxycodone is used to relieve pain severe enough to require opioid treatment and when other pain medicines do not work well enough or cannot be tolerated.
