Is Percocet A Blood Thinner

Updated

I'm having surgery tomorrow morning (Tuesday) on my elbow to repair the Ulnar nerve as well as Carpal tunnel surgery. I took a Percocet yesterday evening (Sunday) for pain. Will this affect my surgery tomorrow?

No, this medication is not a blood thinner. It contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen and is classified as a narcotic analgesic.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?

I’m having a biopsy done on my left breast on Monday and they told me to stop taking any blood thinners but I wasn’t sure if the Percocet was a blood thinner or not?
