Oxycontin Coupons & Cost Discounts

Oxycodone is prescribed for managing severe, persistent pain, such as that caused by cancer. It belongs to a group of medications called opioid analgesics, which function by altering the brain's perception and response to pain. Tablets with strengths over 40 milligrams should only be used by individuals who are accustomed to taking moderate to high doses of opioid pain relievers, as these doses can lead to overdose or death in those who have not regularly used opioids. The extended-release version of oxycodone is not suitable for alleviating mild pain or pain that is expected to subside in a few days, and it is not intended for use on an "as needed" basis.
