Roxicodone Signs, Symptoms, and Side Effects
Roxicodone is a medication prescribed to patients in order to help them manage moderate to severe pain. Roxicodone is classified as an opioid analgesic, which means it reduces pain by changing the way the brain and body respond to it.
Common side effects of Roxicodone, which do not require medical attention, include nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness, and drowsiness. These common side effects should go away with time as the body adjusts to Roxicodone. If they do not go away or get any worse, let your doctor or pharmacist know.
Serious side effects of Roxicodone should be immediately reported to your doctor. These serious side effects include mood changes, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, severe stomach or abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, loss of appetite, unusual tiredness, and weight loss.
Roxicodone patients who notice severe side effects of the medication should seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible. Severe side effects associated with Roxicodone include fainting, seizures, slow or shallow breathing, severe drowsiness, difficulty waking up, and symptoms of an allergic reaction such as rashes, itching or swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.
