How do you take an oxycodone oral tablet?
Oxycodone is a prescribed medication. Therefore, it is important to use the drug as prescribed by your doctor. Your healthcare provider will explain how often and how much to use. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
You can take oxycodone IR tablets by swallowing them. Since they are an immediate-release form of the medication, their contents are usually released immediately into the body.
The available strength for oxycodone IR oral tablets include 5 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg. The other forms of the medication are available in other strengths. This may include generic and brand-name versions of the drug.
For example, some types of extended-release oxycodone tablets are available in strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg. Your healthcare provider will tell you more about this drug if they prescribe one of these doses of oxycodone.
