About
Oxycodone 30mg is a potent opioid medication used to manage moderate to severe pain. It contains 30 milligrams of oxycodone hydrochloride, which is the active ingredient responsible for its pain-relieving effects.
As with other opioids, oxycodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing the perception of pain. It can be prescribed in various formulations, including immediate-release and extended-release forms, depending on the duration and intensity of pain relief needed.
