Description
Opana 10mg (oxymorphone hydrochloride) is a potent opioid analgesic prescribed for the management of moderate to severe pain when other pain treatments, such as non-opioid pain medications, do not suffice. Opana acts on the central nervous system to relieve pain, making it suitable for managing chronic pain conditions and post-surgical pain.
