How does oxycodone affect emphysema?

Oxycodone, an opioid pain medication, can potentially worsen respiratory function in individuals with emphysema. It may cause respiratory depression, leading to decreased breathing rates and increased carbon dioxide retention, which can exacerbate the symptoms of emphysema. Additionally, opioids can reduce the cough reflex, hindering the ability to clear mucus from the airways, further complicating respiratory health. Therefore, careful monitoring and evaluation are essential when prescribing oxycodone to patients with emphysema.
