Hello
Oxycodone is pregnancy category C, that is animal studies have shown risk to the fetus, but human studies have not established that risk.
The drug is generally safe is the benefits outweight the risks.
Short term usage is generally safe.
I would advice you not to take any more of them, and not worry about the ones you have taken so far.
All the best.
