Oxycodone/Acetaminophen Tablets 2.5 mg/325 mg (Rx Only)

Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 2.5 mg/325 mg tablets are a prescription medication that combines oxycodone, an opioid analgesic, with acetaminophen, a non-opioid pain reliever. This combination is used for the management of pain when treatment with an opioid-containing medication is considered appropriate by a healthcare provider.

This prescription medication is an oral, immediate-release combination tablet containing a low-dose opioid agonist alongside a non-opiate analgesic and antipyretic. Each precisely formulated tablet delivers a dual-action mechanism to target the central nervous system and peripheral pain signaling paths.

Oxycodone Hydrochloride, USP (2.5 mg): A semisynthetic pure opioid agonist that works primarily by binding to mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to alter the perception of pain. (Equivalent to 2.2409 mg of pure oxycodone free base).

Acetaminophen, USP (325 mg): A trusted non-opiate, non-salicylate compound that provides synergistic pain relief and fever reduction.

• Oxycodone Hydrochloride 2.5 mg
• Acetaminophen 325 mg
