- What it is: A high-strength, extended-release oxycodone tablet (opioid painkiller).
- Use: Prescribed for severe, long-term pain when other treatments aren’t enough.
- How it works: Releases medication slowly over ~12 hours for continuous pain control.
- Strength note: 80 mg is a very strong dose, typically only for patients already tolerant to opioids.
- Risks:
- Breathing suppression (can be fatal)
- Dependence and addiction
- Overdose risk—especially if misused or combined with alcohol/sedatives
- Important: Must be used exactly as prescribed; breaking/crushing the tablet can release a dangerous full dose at once.
