Hi I have been prescribed Percoset 10/325 for about a year, before that was on Lortab 10/500 for 6 years, my new pain management doctor has mentioned that there is a new pain patch that contains oxycodone and asked if I would like to try it. I told him no for now because frankly it kind of worries me. I have been on opiates for so long that I am naturally addicted to them, I have a torn trapezius muscle, need a knee replacement which they won't do yet because they say I am too young, have sciatica and degenerative disk disease along with carpal tunnel, so I have legitimate reasons for being prescribed the pain meds, what I am worried about with the patch, is will I have withdraw symptoms since I am not physically taking the pills, also, I tried using the nicotine patch years ago and...

Does anyone have any experience with this particular medication. I see that their are lots of complaints on there generic percoset, but I'm talking of just plain oxycodone 15 mg made by alvogen, any information would be great & most appreciated. Again not their percoset version, I'm speaking of plain oxycodone w/ no Tylenol. I cannot take tylenol as it causes my liver to have problems. Thank You! ## Hello, Peggy O! How are you? I've not run across any complaints posted on here, so far, from those that have been taking it. Alvogen is generally a reputable company that manufactures effective medications. 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. Ca...

Hello, I am having a lumbar puncture to measure CSF pressure in a week. I have been prescribed low-dose percoset (1/2 of 7.5/325 per day) to help with the pain and pressure until the lumbar puncture. I was told not to take any blood-thinning medications until the procedure. Can I still take the percoset? Or will it thin the blood as well? ## From what I could gather Percocet has two components; Oxycodone + Acetaminophen, and neither are blood thinners. So you should be fine taking it prior to your surgery. Learn More: Acetaminophen + Oxycodone Details If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

Difference between percoset 30 with an a stamped on it or a v ## Hello, Tim! How are you? What are the markings on the tablets in question? The reason I'm asking is because there is no Percocet that contains 30mgs of anything. It contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone and the maximum dosage is 325/10. But, if you can post back with the markings on them, I can look them up for you to see what they are.

Just had back surgery and ran out of percoset over the weekend and am in great discomfort. Even though I can refil tomorrow, what can I use in the meantime to get me by? ## I see this was posted a few months ago. How did you fare? For future reference, in such cases, you should always contact the prescribing doctor. There is nothing available over the counter that is going to be as effective as the Oxycodone in this and, having had the surgery can limit what would be safe for you to take.

What is the highest milligram percoset?? ## Hello, Dewie! How are you? Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the maximum dosage available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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? ## I love percoset and Norco.. Both 10/325 but these cheaper junk brands are coming in a lot more often now! I.e. The Norco 10/325 I always gotten the yellow ones which worked great and now they give me the Watson and it doesn't work as good. I was getting percoset with the 10/325 on it now I been getting this bunk ip 204 and it doesn't even do half of the other ones do. ##...

I am allergic to sulpha and took a mild dose of percoset and had alarming irregular heart beat....same symptom I had with other drug containing sulpha. does percoset have sulpha as an ingredient in it's makeup? ## Aside from the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the name brand Percocet contains the following inactive ingredients: Colloidial Silicon Dioxide, Croscarmellose sodium, Crospovidone, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Povidone, Pregelatinized corn starch and Stearic Acid, as well as a coloring agent. So, no there are no Sulfa ingredients in the name brand product. However, the ingredients could differ if the one you took was a generic. In addition, it is always possible that the reaction you had was due to the Oxycodone in this, which is a narcotic. It has been know...

Which is stronger? My new insurance won't pay for oxycontin and substituted generic percoset but it doesn't seem to work as well. Is it my imagination? ## Hello, John! How are you? Oxycodone and Oxycontin are the same medication, Oxycontin is just a name brand for the time released version of it, so the 30mgs is stronger, it's just released slowly over an 8 hour period, as compared to the regular release that is released all at once. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. You may want to ask our doctor about possibly trying MS Contin, it is a time released formulation of Morphine that is also available as a generic, so most insura...

What's the difference 512s and percoset 5 what's the difference ## Hi casdy, Based on the description provided, I found the white round pill marked "512" to be Acetaminophen + Oxycodone hydrochloride (325 mg - 5 mg); a generic version of what they call 'Percocet 5'. Manufacturer: Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals National Drug Code (NDC): 00406-0512 Inactive Ingredients: crospovidone microcrystalline cellulose povidone corn starch silicon dioxide stearic acid Learn More: Acetaminophen + Oxycodone Details I hope this info helps to answer your question!

The prescription was for percoset 10/325 dosage. I got a generic prescription back - it says endocet 10/325. The pills are round, white with a line on one side and the number 512 on the other side. I got a prescription a while back for 5/325 and I think they looked the same and I'm concerned the pharmacy gave me the wrong dosage. Can you tell me if I got the right dosage? ## You are correct, the tablets with the 512 marking contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen and only 5mgs of the Oxycodone, so if you were supposed to receive 10/325 then they gave you the wrong dosage. Have you contacted the pharmacy about it?

Well my dr has me takin 10/325 hydrocodone but is switchin me to percoset jus wanted opinion on what was stronger ## The Oxycodone in the Percocet is stronger than the Hydrocodone in the Vicodin, and otherwise they both also contain Acetaminophen to enhance its effectiveness. 10mgs of Hydrocodone is equivalent to 6.67mgs of Oxycodone, so you will probably get better pain relief from the Percocet. Since it is also a narcotic, the side effects will be similar to what you are used to, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been hurting for three months. My primary docotor gave me hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-650 which has reduced the pain but not takin it away. I was in the ER and they placed me on morophine for 16 hours, I felt no...

Hi, I am currently prescribed 10/325 oxycodone 4 times a day, I REALLY want to get my PM doctor to switch me to Roxicodone but don't know how to go about asking him without sounding like a druggie, I have tried my husbands Roxi's twice and they help me better and last longer, just not sure how to word the request, last visit the dr offered to switch me to morphine but honestly that scares me to be on morphine ## I'm not surer why the Morphine would scare you, when it's not as strong and dangerous as the Oxycodone you are currently taking. What does is his Roxicodone? It contains the active ingredient Oxycodone, which is the same as the narcotic in your Percocet, but the Percocet also contains Acetaminophen, which helps the Oxycodone to work better. ## Tell your doctor yo...

I was prescribed percosets so why does my prescription say roxicets ## That's a good question. I'm not sure why they prescribed you two different brands, but to help shed some light, both brands contain the same combination of Acetaminophen + Oxycodone. So there is nothing to worry about as far as getting the medication you were prescribed. I can only assume that the pharmacy probably only had Roxicet ready and figured it was the same thing, so they just gave you that brand instead. I would suggest taking the prescription back to the pharmacy if it really bugs you though. It would probably have me worried too, had I not known they were one in the same. ## why does my prescription say ratio-oxycodan and not oxycodone.. hcl/asa 5/325

The percoset 30's I hear are getting ready to go off the market...is that true if so what are they replacing it with???also I hear all the rest of percoset are getting taking off the shelves...if so what it is it going to be replaced by some time release BS??? ## There is no 30mg Percocet, which contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. Are you referring to medications that contain just Oxycodone, by itself? So far, I haven't found anything stating that any particular dosages or formulations are being pulled off the market. The only recent change that I am aware of is the new formulation of Oxycontin that was released by Purdue to help prevent abuse. Can you post back with any more details on this? Perhaps links to this information? In the meantime, I will keep searching and post ba...

how effective is the pink pill 10 mg percoset ## Prescription pain medication effects every individual differently; and more or less in this situation because Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is made chemically. That is just my theory anyway. There is really no way a doctor can know ahead of time how any medication can affect anyone. They can only assume that it will be effective based on medical records, current health, age, what the condition is, whether or not any other medications are being taken at the same time, etc. Any of these factors as well as others can affect how you respond to this drug.
