On this episode, I discuss oxycodone pharmacology, adverse effect, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions.



Oxycodone is broken down by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. I discuss this further on the podcast and how interactions may alter concentrations.



When a patient stops taking oxycodone after being on it for some time, you must recognize common symptoms of withdrawal.



Oxycodone comes as in an extended-release and immediate-release oral formulation.
