Roxicet contains a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone. Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of oxycodone. Acetaminophen can also help reduce a fever.

Roxicet is a prescription medicine used to relieve moderate to severe pain.

Roxicet works best if used at the first sign of pain occuring. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.
