Description

Oxycodone 15mg Rx (“Oxy15”)

Oxycodone 15mg is a prescription opioid analgesic used to manage moderate to severe pain when non-opioid or weaker medications are not effective. It works by binding to mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing the perception of pain and producing controlled analgesia under medical supervision.

This strength is typically used in cases where patients require stronger short-acting relief and have been evaluated for safe opioid use.

Therapeutic Uses (Under Medical Supervision)

Moderate to Severe Pain Relief

Used for injury-related pain, post-surgical recovery, or pain from certain medical conditions when other treatments are insufficient.

Breakthrough Pain Management

May be prescribed for patients already on long-acting opioid therapy who need an additional short-acting option for sudden increases in pain.

Short-Term Pain Control

Often used in medically supervised settings for acute pain episodes.

Alternative for Patients Not Tolerating Other Opioids

Some patients respond better to oxycodone compared to morphine or hydromorphone.

Important Safety Information

Oxycodone 15mg must be used exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. Because it is a potent opioid:

• Misuse can cause dangerous respiratory depression or overdose.

• It must never be combined with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives.

• Tablets should not be crushed, chewed, or altered.

• Prolonged or unsupervised use may cause dependence, tolerance, or withdrawal.

• Medication must be stored securely and never shared.

• Dose changes must be supervised by a medical professional.
