Oxycodone 5 mg is a prescription opioid analgesic used for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as narcotic analgesics, which work by altering how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. At this low dose, Oxycodone 5 mg is often prescribed for short-term pain relief, such as after minor surgery, dental procedures, or injury, and may also be used as a starting dose in pain management regimens.
