Oxycodone, a semi-synthetic opioid, is a highly selective full agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR). [41] [42] This is the main biological target of the endogenous opioid neuropeptide β-endorphin. [19] Oxycodone has low affinity for the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) and the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), where it is an agonist similarly.

In older adults, opioid use is associated with increased adverse effects such as "sedation, nausea, vomiting, constipation, urinary retention, and falls". [72] As a result, older adults taking opioids are at greater risk for injury. [73] Opioids do not cause any specific organ toxicity, unlike many other drugs, such as aspirin and paracetamol.
Oxycodone/paracetamol, sold under the brand name Percocet among others, [2] is a fixed-dose combination of the opioid oxycodone with paracetamol (acetaminophen), used to treat moderate to severe pain. [1] In 2022, it was the 98th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6 million prescriptions. [3] [4]
