Description

Oxycodone 20mg ER Rx (“Oxy20 Faroxy-ER”)

Oxycodone ER 20mg is an extended-release opioid analgesic prescribed for the management of severe, continuous pain that requires long-acting opioid therapy. The ER (extended-release) formulation gradually releases oxycodone over many hours, providing stable and consistent pain relief throughout the day.

Because of its strength and long duration, this medication is only prescribed to patients who have been assessed for opioid tolerance and safety by a licensed healthcare provider.

Therapeutic Uses (Under Medical Supervision)

Severe Chronic Pain

Used for conditions requiring steady, around-the-clock pain control when other treatments are not enough.

Extended Pain Relief

The ER formulation helps maintain consistent pain reduction without the rapid peaks seen in immediate-release forms.

Opioid-Tolerant Patient Management

Typically prescribed to patients with prior exposure to opioids to ensure safe dosing and minimize risk.

Palliative Care Support

May be part of comfort-focused care for patients with advanced illness requiring long-term symptom relief.

Important Safety Information

Oxycodone ER 20mg must be used strictly as prescribed, due to its potency and extended release:

• Tablets must never be crushed, broken, or chewed (dangerous rapid release).

• Misuse can cause severe respiratory depression or overdose.

• Do not combine with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives.

• Store securely and never share with anyone.

• Stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal; changes must be guided by a healthcare provider.

• Extended-release opioids require close medical supervision at all times.
