Mechanism of action

Oxycodone binds to mu-opioid receptors to produce analgesia and pain relief. Naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, is included in the formulation to block some opioid effects and theoretically reduce constipation, respiratory depression, and abuse liability. The combination aims to maintain analgesic efficacy while mitigating common opioid side effects.
