DESCRIPTION FOR PERCOCET PAIN MEDICATION
Treats moderate to severe pain. Percocet contains Oxycodone
and Acetaminophen. Oxycodone which is related to codeine
is in a class of prescription drugs called narcotic
analgesics. Oxycodone ( generic percocet ) is used for
relieving pain and its calming effect. Acetaminophen
is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects
of oxycodone. Together, acetaminophen and oxycodone
( percocet ) are used for pain management to relieve
moderate-to-severe pain. Percocet tablets (oxycodone
with acetaminophen) are often prescribed for post-operative
pain control. Percocet pain pills may also be prescribed
for other purposes, speak with your doctor or pharmacist
