PERCOCET 10 mg/325 mg
Percocet (oxycodone / acetaminophen) is a combination of two medications that work on different pathways to change how you react to pain.
- Oxycodone is an opioid. It binds to certain parts of your brain, called mu-opioid receptors, and lowers how much pain you feel.
- Acetaminophen is a non-opioid pain reliever. It’s not completely clear how acetaminophen works, but it’s thought to work on many chemical pathways in your brain to relieve pain.
What is Percocet (oxycodone / acetaminophen) used for?
- Pain that isn’t relieved by non-opioid medications alone
