What is Roxicodone?
Oxycodone hydrochloride comes under the brand name Roxicodone. It is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic with the chemical name 4, 5α-epoxy-14-hydroxy-3-methoxy-17methylmorphinan-6-one hydrochloride, derived from thebaine, an opium alkaloid.
Roxicodone is the oral administration tablet containing 5mg, 15mg, or 30mg strength of the active ingredient Oxycodone hydrochloride. The inactive ingredients of 5mg Roxicodone tablets are stearic acid and microcrystalline cellulose. The 15mg and 30mg Roxicodone tablets contain the inactive ingredients corn starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, sodium starch glycolate, D&C Yellow No. 10 (in 15mg tablets), and FD&C Blue No. 2 (in 15 mg and 30 mg tablets).
How Should I Use Roxicodone?
Roxicodone tablets are helpful in the management of mild to severe pain. Roxicodone, like all other narcotic analgesics, reaches the brain to boost the GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) neurotransmitters, which manages the sensation of pain. It changes the way the body reacts to the pain, providing pain relief and soothing effects for the user.
