Oxycodone 60 mg is a high-dose, extended-release (ER) opioid analgesic used to manage severe, around-the-clock pain in patients who are already tolerant to opioid therapy. Due to its strength and long-lasting effects, it is not intended for occasional or mild pain, and is only prescribed when alternative treatments are insufficient. This dosage is typically formulated in extended-release tablets, designed to release the active ingredient slowly over a 12-hour period. It is often marketed under brand names like OxyContin or other generic versions of oxycodone extended-release.
