Hello,
A person that uses oxycodone can develop tolerance to it which means may need a higher dosage of medications to provide the first effects of relieving the pain.
You may discuss with your doctor for other options for treating initial disease and you may not need that dosage of oxycodone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
