Is A Percocet An Opiad

If 1 Percocet of the same dosage strength is halved, is that somewhere equivalent to 1 Norco? My prescription for Norco hasn't arrived yet and it's Sat. And I ran out of Norco today. ## @Pug, I think the answer may vary for each individual. However, a clinical study by NIH depicts Oxycodone and Hydrocodone as having "similarly potent analgesic effects in the first hour of treatment for ED patients with acute fractures." NIH also goes on to note that side effect profiles were similar as well. [1] source: PubMed / 15805317 Something else to keep in mind is that inactive ingredients could also affect how well a tablet is absorbed/metabolized, consequently making it challenging to determine which substance (or tablet composition rather) is more efficacious / bioavailable. So......

If you take Lortab 10 mg can you take Percocet 10 -650 are they the same? Cause I went to my doctor today and they changed my meds from Lortab to the Percocet and I'm scared to take them? ## The only way to find out if you can take something without having any problems from it is by trying it. The Percocet is actually a stronger medication, since it contains Oxycodone with the Acetaminophen. Learn more Percocet details here. It is also a narcotic that has the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation and dry mouth. Why did they change your medication? Did they give you a reason?...

Which rx gives better & longer pain relief? ## Hello, Plumber! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Actavis Elizabeth and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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. This is a generic for Percocet, so it's the same thing. Is there anything else I can help with?...

I take Lortab 10's, Fentanyl 100mg patch every 3 days and Ibuprofen. I stay in constant pain and wanted to know what I could switch to that would be stronger and help with my constant pain. I've been on all 3 medicines and alot of other medicine (not pain medicine) for over 3yrs. ## Yes, it only takes 6.67mgs of Oxycodone to equal each 10mgs of Hydrocodone, so the Percocet would be stronger. Learn more Percocet details here. Oxycodone is also available by itself, without the Acetaminophen, in a regular release formulation, so you also may want to ask your doctor about that. It is another narcotic opiate, so it also has the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can he......

The pa (I currently have been assigned at a rehabilitation place I have been placed at to recover from a lower leg, no weight bearing break) wants me to take morphine instead of Percocet. I have been taking it for 16 years for the ms I have. ## The Oxycodone in Percocet is one and a half times stronger than Morphine. So, Morphine could still help alleviate your pain, but the dosage must be carefully calculated. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a small blue pill that's blank on one side and has R 215 on the other. I've never seen a blue version before but I'm told it's a percocet 30. Pleas......

I have a white tablet that says Dav on one side and has 5599 on the other side. Could it be a Percocet? ## That last letter is actually an N, though sometimes the manufacturer's marking equipment gets worn and they are hard to read, however, this is not Percocet. DAN 5599 is Trazadone 100mgs, a generic for the antidepressant Desyrel....
