Oxycodone is a powerful opioid pain reliever prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain, often after surgery or for chronic pain conditions. It works by altering the brain's perception of pain, binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. While effective, oxycodone carries a high risk of addiction, misuse, and dependence. Common side effects include drowsiness, constipation, nausea, and dizziness. Serious side effects can include slowed breathing and overdose. To use oxycodone safely, follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage, avoid alcohol, and never share the medication with others. Gradual tapering is necessary when discontinuing to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Oxycodone is an opioid pain reliever that works by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord known as opioid receptors. These receptors are part of the central nervous system and play a key role in regulating pain. When oxycodone attaches to these receptors, it blocks pain signals sent to the brain and alters the way the body perceives pain, providing relief.

In addition to pain relief, oxycodone can also produce feelings of euphoria, which contributes to its potential for abuse and addiction. It is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain, often after surgeries or for chronic conditions.
