hi
oxicodone is an opiod drug
its active metabolites sometimes take longer time to get metabolised in the liver & get excreted from the kidney.
5---15 mgs per day of oxycodone is regularly indicated normal dose.
increased doses are more likely to damage both the liver & kidney to some extent , which again depends on the duration, doses, patients general condition & any other systemic related disorders.
all the best take care
