What is oxycodone?
Oxycodone hydrochloride (HCI) tablets were U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved in 1995 to manage moderate to severe pain. This medication is approved to manage moderate to serious pain when an around-the-clock, constant pain medication is needed for a long period of time.
Oxycodone is also used to treat pain associated with cancer, the lower back, arthritis, neuralgia, fractures, dislocation, bursitis, and childbirth. Neuralgia is pain caused by damage or irritation to a nerve. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, which are small sacs that cushion the muscles, tendons, and bones around your joints.
How does oxycodone work?
Keep in mind that you should only use oxycodone when you haven’t tolerated or haven’t received enough pain relief from opioid combination products or non-opioid analgesics. Oxycodone should also only be used for a long period of time if the pain is serious enough to need an opioid pain medication, and other treatment options haven’t worked well enough.
Oxycodone belongs to a medication class called opiate (narcotic) analgesics, or pain medications. Oxycodone relieves or treats moderate to serious pain by acting on the central nervous system (CNS). It also impacts the way that your nervous system and brain respond to pain in the body.
Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. The medication blocks the pain signals in your body to impact how you feel pain. Oxycodone is an opioid agonist and works by activating the opioid receptors in your nervous system. It treats moderate to severe pain when you’ve tried other pain medications that either aren’t tolerated by your body or simply don’t work well enough.
Oxycodone comes in several different formulations, including immediate-release tablets, immediate-release, abuse-deterrent tablets, immediate-release capsules, an immediate-release oral solution, and extended-release tablets. The faster-acting formulations are prescribed to treat acute or short-term pain, while the extended-release tablets treat chronic and severe pain.
Oxycodone is also a controlled substance. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) categorizes controlled substances into 5 different schedules. These schedules are based on several factors, including the medication’s risk to public health, potential for abuse, and risk of dependence.
Oxycodone is a Schedule II controlled substance. This means that oxycodone has an approved medical use but also has a high risk for abuse, which can lead to severe physical or psychological dependence. Other examples of Schedule II drugs include Demerol (meperidine), Dolophine (methadone), Dilaudid (hydromorphone), and Duragesic (fentanyl).
Who can take oxycodone?
Oxycodone is primarily prescribed to treat and manage moderate to severe pain. People with the following conditions can’t take oxycodone or should take caution before using it:
• Allergies. Don’t take oxycodone if you’re allergic to it. Let your provider know if you’ve ever had an allergic or unusual reaction to oxycodone or any other medications. Also let your provider know if you have other kinds of allergies, including to animals, preservatives, dyes, or foods.
• Children under age 11. There isn’t enough research on how oxycodone impacts children younger than 11.
• Breastfeeding. There isn’t currently enough research on the risk to babies when using oxycodone during breastfeeding. Make sure to take caution before taking oxycodone while breastfeeding.
• Drug interactions. Oxycodone has interactions with samidorphan, safinamide, naltrexone, mavorixafor, levoketoconazole, and isocarboxazid. Don’t take oxycodone while taking any of these medications.
• Other interactions. Oxycodone can interact with grapefruit juice and ethanol. If using these substances together, your provider can change your dose or how often you take the medication.
• Other medical issues. Let your provider know if you have other medical issues, including alcohol use disorder, breathing issues, head injuries, hypothyroidism, psychosis, stomach or bowel issues, asthma, seizures, kidney disease, liver disease, or gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction.

Never stop taking oxycodone suddenly. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about reducing your dose gradually over time.
