Oxycodone 80mg

Uses

Commonly prescribed for:

Cancer-related pain

Advanced chronic pain conditions unresponsive to lower doses

Post-surgical or trauma pain in patients with high opioid tolerance

⚠️ Important Notice

All forms of Oxycodone are prescription-only medications and should be taken exactly as directed by a licensed healthcare professional. Misuse can cause serious health risks, including addiction, overdose, or death.
Non-medication options such as physical therapy, mindfulness, and gradual exercise are also encouraged as part of a safe, balanced approach to managing chronic pain.
