Oxycodone
Oxycodone is typically prescribed to alleviate severe pain when other painkillers do not work well enough. It is a form of narcotic analgesics that works by affecting the central nervous system. Different forms are available, including capsules, solutions, and tablets. You should avoid taking extended-release tablets or capsules of oxycodone to alleviate pain in a short time or ease mild pain. If taken for a long time, the medication would become habit-forming and lead to physical or mental dependence. Nevertheless, people with persistent pain may take oxycodone frequently despite this risk. The positive effects may outweigh the potential drawbacks. It is worth noting that once you stop taking the drug suddenly, several withdrawal effects may appear and disrupt your life. To reduce the risk, you can reduce the dosages gradually over time before a complete stop of treatment. [6]
