Dear sir

Oxycodone is an opiod analgesic which is centrally acting and deviod of renal effects.

Secondly it has an habitual tendency. Dont try it regularly.

Try to reduce the dosage and wean it

There are many other agents available to reduce neurological pain, discuss with your doctor and proceed to next mode of treatment

Thanks
