How to Identify Oxycodone Pills

Oxycodone is a pain-killing medication--often combined with acetaminophen--that is a powerful narcotic. Oxycodone is typically given after surgeries or accidents.

Understanding the strength of the oxycodone you are taking is important, and the appearance of oxycodone depends on the individual strengths.
