Percocet Or Oxycodone

Updated

I normally take 2 Oxycod/apap = Percocet up to 6 a day. My question is, can I take Oxycodone if I have ran out of my Percocet?

If you are running out early, then you really need to consult with your doctor, your dosage may need to be adjusted.

To my knowledge percocet and oxycodone are the same exact drug, one is just the generic name.

No - Percocet contains both Acetaminophen and Oxycodone.

Your doctor is correct, Roxicodone just contains the narcotic Oxycodone in a regular release formulation and Percocet contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen.

I have been taking percocet for chronic pain for 7 years.
I worry about the Acetaminophen and the liver damage it can cause.
Can someone tell me if there is any further benefit by using the mix in percocet for pain as opposed to oxycodone?

The Acetaminophen can help with swelling and inflammation. Please speak to your doctor about your concerns.

Does anyone have experience using this medication or switching?

What do you think Percocet is? It's Oxycodone!!! Just like Opana ER is Oxymorphone!!!
