Why Is There Confusion Between Oxycodone & Guaifenesin?

I was given a prescription at my local hospital for Percocet 325/5mg when I had a gallstone attack. How would I possibly end up with Guaifenesin 400mg?

You should not have. Did you double check with the doctor and pharmacy?

Percocet is an opiate narcotic that is used to treat pain, and guaifenesin is definitely not.

The FDA warns that Percocet carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Some people do believe that Guaifenesin helps with Fibromyalgia, but other studies have not proven that.
