Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from thebaine, an alkaloid found in the opium poppy. Oxycodone is available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations, and is commonly prescribed in combination with other analgesics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Oxycodone is one of the most widely prescribed analgesics in the United States, and is used to treat a variety of conditions including chronic pain, post-operative pain, and cancer-related pain. Oxycodone is a key player in the analgesic market, and is often used in combination with other analgesics to provide more effective pain relief. It is also used in combination with non-opioid analgesics such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce the risk of opioid-induced side effects. Oxycodone is available in both generic and brand-name formulations, and is available in a variety of dosage forms including tablets, capsules, and oral solutions. Some companies in the Oxycodone market include Purdue Pharma, Endo Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
