What is the difference betwerrn Oxycodone-APAP-5 325mg and Percocet?
Are they equally as strong and are side affects the same? Would it be ok to take a higher dosage?
Oxycodone APAP and Percocet are different names for the same drug. The strength depends on the dosage. The first number - 5 - in the case of the oxycodone - refers to how many milligrams of the narcotic pain reliever is present, the second to the amount of acetaminophen (which enhances the pain relievers effectiveness) that is present.
Thus the strength depends on how each is formulated. Check out the numbers on each pill to determine if they are of equal strength
