PERCOCET vs. Oxycodone HCL - PLEASE help! I have been taking Percocet [Oxycodone 5/325] for the past several months regularly due to a severe knee injury. My doctor today prescribed me Oxycodone HCL 5mg tablets.. 100 of them, actually. I am the type of person who gets very nervous when taking a new medication.

Answers From Experts & Organizations (1) SUCCESS! A. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are both opioid pain relievers. They are both extremely potent and are used for moderate to severe pain. Oxycodone is stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone is a C-II controlled substance, while hydrocodone is a C-III controlled substance. A C-II medication typically has more addictive potential than a C-III medication.

Percocet is oxycodone. The only difference is the Tylenol in it. I would never recommend a combo drug and to certainly not with Tylenol in it. Combo are generally much higher then if its just one.

OxyContin (“Oxy” or “OC” on the street) is a time-released pain medication. It was developed in 1995 for people needing around-the-clock pain relief, so they don’t have to take pills as often. OxyContin contains oxycodone, which is an opioid drug, like morphine, codeine, heroin and methadone.

• Oxycodone and OxyContin are actually one and the same. Oxycodone is the generic name of OxyContin. OxyContin and its generic version are being sold in 10-, 20-, 40- and 80-milligram tablets and prescriptions are needed to buy them. • OxyContin and generic Oxycodone are being manufactured by Purdue Pharma. The generic versions, however, are being distributed by other companies, most notable Watson Pharmaceuticals. • OxyContin has undergone changes to prevent its misuse and abuse.

Both Percocet and OxyContin relieve pain, but while Percocet gives relief for about five hours, the effects of OxyContin last for about 12 hours. Percocet contains five milligrams of oxycodone, which is all released when the pill is taken. Percocet also contains acetaminophen (the drug in Tylenol), which makes people sick if they take a lot of it. OxyContin doesn’t contain acetaminophen. It is pure oxycodone in amounts much larger than in Percocet. In Canada, OxyContin pills come with 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg of oxycodone.

Anyway, I currently don't have health insurance and Percocet 10/325 is extremely expensive, approx. $115 for a month supply. However, tomorrow I may ask my orthopedic for straight Oxycodone 10 mg - which is 95% cheaper. Pain relief wise, is there a significant difference between these medications?

Answers from Contributors (5) SUCCESS! A. The difference between Percocet and oxycodone is that percs have Tylenol in them & oxycodone doesn't. They are both made out of oxycodone which is made from a derivative called THEBAINE which is extracted from the roots of the opium poppy plant. They both should come back as oxycodone in a drug test.
