what does endone do

Endone is a brand name for oxycodone, a strong opioid medication used to relieve severe pain. It works by acting on the central nervous system to block pain signals between the body and the brain. Endone is typically prescribed for pain caused by major trauma, surgery, childbirth labor pain, or cancer when other pain relief methods are ineffective or unsuitable. It is usually taken when pain is severe and not controlled by non-opioid medicines. Because oxycodone is a potent opioid, it carries the risk of dependence and should be used exactly as prescribed by a doctor.
