Roxicodone is a brand name for oxycodone, a prescription opioid medication used to manage moderate to severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, altering the perception of pain and providing relief. Due to its potential for addiction and abuse, Roxicodone is classified as a controlled substance and should be used under strict medical supervision. Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, constipation, and respiratory depression.
