Oxycodone is a strong semi-synthetic opioid analgesic of the 4-phenylpiperidine class that is utilized mainly for the control of moderate to severe pain. It falls in the category of opioids, which are analgesic in nature and function by attaching themselves to the opioid receptors in the central nervous system, thus reducing the perception of pain. Initially developed in Germany in 1916, it was chemically related to morphine and synthesized from thebaine, an alkaloid that occurs naturally in the opium poppy plant.

Demand

The demand for oxycodone can be attributed to the fact that it is used mostly for the management of severe pain that cannot be relieved by other opiate analgesics. For cancer pain sufferers, those with severe trauma, and even post-surgical patients who need strong pain relief, oxycodone fulfills their requirements. There are also different types of oxycodone products from pharmaceutical companies in terms of the concentration and forms of preparation for administration to patients with varying needs and levels of pain.

Nonetheless, oxycodone has also been widely used as a recreational drug, besides its proper utilization for treating moderate to severe pain. The drug is popular among those who want to achieve a state of happiness and have fun or those who suffer from opioid dependencies, thereby fuelling the opioid epidemic in many states.

According to provisional data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates more than 108,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in the 12 months ending April 2022. While many types of drugs contribute to overdose mortality, opioids accounted for almost 75% of all drug overdose deaths in 2020.

Applications

Oxycodone is specifically used in the treatment of moderate to severe levels of pain that cannot be alleviated by other analgesics. It is classified under opioids that are used to treat moderate to severe pain by acting on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to help alter the way the body processes pain signals. The drug comes in both immediate-release and extended-release forms to offer a versatile treatment plan depending on the severity and duration of the pain relieved by patients.

Common indications for oxycodone administration include patients who have undergone surgeries, suffer from severe trauma or have terminal cancer and severe pain. It is especially important for patients who need round-the-clock drug administration as the controlled-release formulations continuously deliver the active compound at a constant rate over a long time.
