Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is highly addictive and commonly abused, with side effects including euphoria, constipation, and addiction. Oxycodone acts by activating the μ-opioid receptor and has roughly 1.5 times the effect of morphine when taken by mouth. It is available as a generic medication and was originally produced from the opium poppy alkaloid thebaine in 1916, and is used for managing moderate to severe acute or chronic pain when other treatments are not sufficient.learn more on wikipedia
