ALL ABOUT OPANA ER
Opana ER (extended-release oxymorphone) is a prescription opioid medication used to manage moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring long-term, around-the-clock pain relief. It belongs to a class of medications called opioid analgesics and works by altering the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.
