Generic Percocet Vs Oxyir
(Newest replies first)

I take generic percpcet 10-325mg. up to 4 times daily for breakthru pain.

I just read about the OxyIR and am wondering what would be the same mg. as the percocet if I wanted to discussed this with my dr.? If OxyIR does NOT contain aspirin wouldn't it be healthier for me & my liver? So, I would like to know the amt to discuss with my PM dr so that I can get the same amt. in my body w/o harming my liver like the percocet does.

Hello, Eva! How are you?

Okay, first of all, Percocet does not contain Aspirin, it contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, but yes, the Acetaminophen can be a danger to your liver.

Second, Oxy IR is only available as a 5mg capsule, so it would not be as strong as the Percocet you currently take. What you would actually be looking for would be the regular release that's called Roxicodone or the time released that's called Oxycontin.

You'd take the Roxicodone similarly to the Percocet, but the Oxycontin would only be taken twice a day and your doctor will know the appropriate dose to prescribe, if they think it a good idea for you to try one of them.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
