What is K 56 pill?
The Pink K 56 pill contains Oxycodone Hydrochloride 10 mg. It is supplied by KVK Tech Inc. Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. The extended-release form of oxycodone is for around-the-clock treatment of pain and should not be used on an as-needed basis for pain. Oxycodone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
K 56 pill is a Schedule II controlled substance. As an opioid, oxycodone hydrochloride tablets expose users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse.
