Hello, Tommy! How are you?

It depends on what the manufacturer uses in the tablets as the inactive ingredients. Are there any markings on them? That is what would enable me to research it for you to check.

Are they alleviating your pain?

The FDA classifies this medication as 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.

Thank you Verwon for your reply...the pills have a V on one side & 48-10 on the other. And no they don't seem to work...I take 2-5mg...4times a day...I also take 2-60mgs of morphine a day and I'm in pain... all the time...

Yes oxycodone 5 mg ir are the ones you are getting always. It's Percocet without the tylenol. Most people just buy Tylenol and take reg strength 2 tabs that is of course if you don't have history of liver damage.
