Is Percocet Pill And Oxycodone The Same

i found a pink round pill with k56 on it is it the same as percocet? ## No, they are not the same. Percocet contains both Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. The Acetaminophen potentiates the action of the Oxycodone to help better control pain. And this tablet with the K 56 marking just contains 10mgs of Oxycodone by itself, in a regular release formulation. You can learn more Percocet details here and you can learn more Oxycodone details here. Both are narcotic opiates, so they have the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. However, they are different, due to the addition of the Acetaminophen in the Percocet. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Which one is stronger percocet or k56 ## Stronger? If ...

I got my prescription filled and when I got home from the pharmacy in the bottle I had the white IP 206 Oxycodone instead of my normal Percocet 10 yellow pill. Should I take this or bring them back to receive my yellow Percocet 10 (or) do the two work just as strong or not? Thanks ## This is the exact same medication, just manufactured by a different company than the one you had received, before. Many pharmacies switch which one they carry, according to whatever company had the cheapest generic available when they placed their restock order. If you went back and insisted on getting the other ones, again, they probably won't even have then in stock anymore. ## I am a 55 year woman. my MIR looks like a 75 year old.

I ran out of oxycodone will Percocet replace the oxycodone ## Hi Barbara, The Percocet will not be identical to Oxycodone, because it also contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen as well. More over, a closer comparison would also depend on what dose of Oxycodone you were taking, since the maximum amount of Oxycodone that they put in Percocet is 10mgs. Are you getting Percocet from the same doctor who wrote your script for Oxycodone? If so, he/she should be able to help you determine what amount you should be taking in order to provide adequate pain relief. I hope this helps!

Are all generic percocet the same exact formula? The 4839V works fine for me but I just took 1 pill marked RP on one side and 5 325 on the other and felt really sick - numbness in feet, shallow breathing, chest pain. I've been taking percocet for breakthrough pain for years and never had this happen. ## My mother just received a new bottle of percocet 5 325 with R P on the other side. It does not seem to be working like OTHER brands she has received in the past??? I took one, which should have knocked me out due to my low tolerance. It did NOTHING! ## Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brands, in the amount of the active ingredients, by as much as plus or minus 20%, the FDA considers this to be an acceptable therapeutic window and it was...

Can someone please tell me if one of the 5mg oxycodones without Tylenol is equal to a percocet 10mg? Is it stronger or weaker and would it only take one to equal the equivalent of a perk 10 or 2 of the oxycodone 5mg ## Hi Julie, To answer your question, 5mgs of Oxycodone quite simply does NOT equate to 10mgs of Oxycodone + 325mgs of Tylenol found in Percocet. Usually when people abbreviate the term "perk 10" this means that it contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and nothing less. So even without the Tylenol it would still be stronger than 5mgs of the same substance. I hope this makes sense! ## Simple math here....5<10 same active ingredient.

Wow. Either most of you are drug seaking at this point or you need some education. ## Wow some ppl are just looking for answers for some one else or for them selfs so they dornt hurt them selfs bc the doctor or pain clinic doesnt answer there question clearly. Maybe u should support ppl with the hand they been given and maybe just maybe u should try not being so narrow minded put yourself in there shoes and stop judging ppl on an info sites like this one bc this is a site that ppl come to for answers. If u want to judge ppl stop a blog that no one will read. If u want to act like someones mom do it somewhere that ppl dont look for real life answers ## Amen!

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?

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?

I am prescribed oxycodone 30 mg tablets every month. I ran out a few days early and I just wanted to know if I could take 10 mg Percocet in the same quantity to keep my levels up? ## The problem with taking so much Percocet is the Acetaminophen in it. The FDA lists the maximum recommended daily dose it to no more than 3,000mgs and taking 9 Percocet in a day would come really close to that. You might be okay to do this, if your doctor approves, but generally they don't like you to take more than 2, at once. 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.

I normally take 2 Oxycod/apap = Percocet up to 6 a day. My question is, can I take Oxycodone if I have ran out of my Percocet? ## If you are running out early, then you really need to consult with your doctor, your dosage may need to be adjusted. ## To my knowledge percocet and oxycodone are the same exact drug, one is just the generic name. ## No - Percocet contains both Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. ## what is the difference btween percocet n roxicodone30mg? my dr. just switched me n he told me roxicodone wuz just perc without tylenol ?????can someone help ## Your doctor is correct, Roxicodone just contains the narcotic Oxycodone in a regular release formulation and Percocet contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. ## I have been taking percocet for chronic pain for 7 years.

Lorocet I am taking have been for years Dr changed me to perocet ten they are making me sick I want to go back to lorcet ten why is their some different drug in one and not the other why does they different ## Hello, Lumbee Girl! How are you doing? Sorry about the problems that you're having. The reason they are different is because not every drug works for everyone. We are all different, so someone else may not be able to take the Lorcet, but the Percocet may work great for them. The most likely reason your doctor changed your prescription is because there is a shortage right now and the combination medications with higher amounts of Acetaminophen in them will no longer be available after the new year. All of them will be lowered to contain no more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per ...

I've been taking 15mg of Percocet with Tylenol in them for a year. My dr just gave me a 20mg dose without the Tylenol, but it doesn't seem to be working as well. Why is that? ## The ONLY difference in the two pills is the Tylenol, and 1 of the pills (oxy 20) has 5 mgs more than the Percocet 15? I put the ? Because I NEVER heard of a Percocet 15; only 10, 20 and Percocet 30. Never the less, oxycodone is the narcotic in both pills, and oxycodone is oxycodone. IT'S THE SAME THING BABY! ## The Acetaminophen does enhance the action of the narcotic in some people that take it, so you might be one of those people who get better pain relief if it accompanies the opiate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nau...

i currently take percocet 5s twice a day if my doc ups me to roxycodone will it help me n is it the same drug only stronger ## Percocet and Roxicodone are different drugs, in that Percocet contains Acetaminophen + Oxycodone, while Roxicodone only contains Oxycodone (but generally at a higher dosage than Percocet). In that regard, comparing the strength really depends on how high of a dose your doctor prescribes you for the Roxicodone.

I was prescribed Percocet 5/325 for shingles. Then my Dr switched it to oxycodone 5/325. What is the difference between the two? ## To me it just sounds like they switched you from the brand name to the generic which contains the same active ingredients and doses. Do you have any other details about the new prescription such as a NDC number or manufacturer name? ## Percocet has Tylenol in it and oxycodone does not... ## Diamond88 you are right but I want to expand on your message just a bit. Percocet does have Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) in it, but it also contains Oxycodone as an active ingredient. Straight Oxycodone is different than Percocet. So, in other words ... Percocet = Acetaminophen + Oxycodone ... Oxycodone is a drug in and of itself which is sometimes an...

Hello all, First off I'm new to posting here and I must admit this is probably a topic that is quite frequent and I have done days searching but can't seem to really find any info on my specific situation. I apologize in advance for the long post but I will introduce myself and situation. I've been on oxycodone 10/325 for a little over a year now from a botched foot surgery and diabetic neuropathy in this same foot. It helps tremendously and seems to be the only relief I can get is from taking these. Whether its first thing in the morning to be able to stand up and get moving or whether it's to let me settle down and drift off to sleep which is something fairly hard to do. I also was recently diagnosed with PTSD from my job and I am currently out of work for this. It is ...

Just wanted to know which one is stronger and by how much? Thanks, ## Hello, Dale! How are you? Technically, neither. However, for some people that Acetaminophen in Percocet can augment the action of the Oxycodone, so it may be more effective and could be the same as them taking 12 or 13mgs of the Oxycodone. But, it doesn't work that way for everyone. 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.

is roxicetwith number 54 543 as strong as Percocet 512? ## Hello, Moochie! How are you? The tablet with the 54 543 marking is manufactured by Roxane Laboratories, it is the name brand Roxicet, which contains 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The one with the 512 on it is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as also containing 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so yes.

I've been on oxycodone 10mg for several years. My pain management doc has been reducing my prescription by 5 pills each month to get me down to just 120 per month. Next month I will be at the 120 mark. I've been complaining as that 1 less per day makes a difference in managing my pain daily. A few months ago my pharmacy switched their supplier and the new pills won't cut. They literally shatter on one side leaving me about 3/4 of a pill & crumbs. So now my doctor is suggesting I go on Percocet 10/325mg. I know the 325 is acetaminophen. But what is the difference between Oxy & Percocet? I'm not a fan of taking that much acetaminophen daily without an end in sight. Is the Percocet 10/325mg is stronger than Oxy 10mg? The same? Unless it's stronger, I don't k...
