Oxycodone/Ibuprofen is a combination medication that treats moderate-to-severe pain. Oxycodone is an opioid that binds to certain parts of your brain, called mu-opioid receptors, to change how you react to pain. This helps decrease how much pain you feel. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It blocks the inflammation process in your body, which relieves pain, fever, and swelling. Oxycodone/Ibuprofen should only be used for a short period of time (maximum of 7 days) because it has serious risks of stomach bleeds, stomach ulcers, abuse, misuse, and overdose.
