Oxycodone Hydrochloride- This drug is
categorized as an agonist opioid, a powerful group of analgesics that work by
blocking signals to pain receptors in the brain. A synthetic narcotic derived
from opium-producing poppy plants, oxycodone HCL has properties similar to
morphine and is classified as a Schedule II drug, which means that it can be
legally prescribed but has a high potential for abuse. Oxycodone HCL is also an
active ingredient in the following drugs: Percocet, Percodan, and Tylox.
