Opana is the brand name for oxymorphone, a powerful prescription opioid used to manage moderate to severe pain. It's typically prescribed when other pain medications are not effective or when patients require long-term opioid therapy.

Opana comes in two main forms:

Opana IR (Immediate Release): Used for short-term pain relief.

Opana ER (Extended Release): Designed for around-the-clock pain management, especially in chronic conditions.

• Chronic pain conditions (like arthritis or back injuries)
• Post-surgical pain
• Cancer-related pain
• When other painkillers are no longer effective
