What is Roxicodone (Roxycodone)?
Roxicodone (Roxycodone) is a narcotic pain reliever. It works by
dulling the pain perception center in the brain. It may also affect
other body systems (eg, respiratory and circulatory systems) at higher
doses.
Roxicodone (Roxycodone) is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It
may be used before surgery to sedate the patient and reduce fear.
Roxicodone (Roxycodone) is not for treating pain just after a surgery
unless you were already taking Roxicodone (Roxycodone) before the
surgery. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your
doctor.
Uses
The usual adult dose of Roxicodone (Roxycodone) is 10 to 30 mg every 4
hours as needed for pain. The dose must be individually adjusted
according to severity of pain, patient response and patient size. More
severe pain may require 30 mg or more every 4 hours. If the pain
increases in severity, analgesia is not adequate or tolerance occurs, a
gradual increase in Roxicodone (Roxycodone) dosage may be required.
