The difference is that the Percocet has Tylenol in it and the Oxycodone doesn't. They both have the same amount of Oxycodone in them. The 325 is the amount of Tylenol.  Scooter

I am pretty sure there is no difference. Oxycodone is the generic name for Percocet. As the other person stated, the 5 mg is the Oxycodone whether it be in the Percocet or Oxycodone. The 325 referes to the amount of acetominophine that is in it, which is typically in the oxycodone as well.
