Percocet with no acetaminophen
Common Questions and Answers about Percocet with no acetaminophen

Hello Clsmith,
Oxycodone 5mg is not stronger than Oxycodone 10mg with acetaminophen. The acetaminophen has nothing to do with the strength of the oxycodone. However as suggested above it may be that her physician is concerned about the long term effects of acetaminophen.
The mind is powerful. I believe in being truthful with ppl especially when it comes to their health care. I wouldn't encourage you to lie to her but if she doesn't ask you're not being untruthful.
And Peek...
Use of narcotic analgesics in late pregnancy is associated with the risk of neonatal withdrawal. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Acetaminophen-oxycodone containing products should only be given during pregnancy when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs risk.
question is how to get my doc to understand? I was told that i should be on Oxycontin with no acetaminophen stuff...help??? I know it wont take the pain away...I'm just looking to be able to "deal" with it...but I understand that I'm digesting way too much Tylenol stuff???
Significant - Monitor Closely. Significant interaction possible (monitoring by your doctor required)
sertraline oral and hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral
sertraline oral will increase the level or effect of hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral by altering drug metabolism.
ZOLOFT AND PERCOCET:
Significant - Monitor Closely.
Heart palpatations and irregular heart beats are a serious side effect of the medication. Since your friend has been taking percocet for years, he/she is addicted to the medication. When the medication starts to wear off, he/she is experiencing a withdrawal which can cause heart palpatations and irregular heart beats due to anxiety.
Here's a list of side effects and severity:

Percocet is Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. Percocet is a brand name and there is no liquid Percocet. There is a liquid version of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen called Roxicet, however. It's not necessarily measured in mg's though. It's measured in ml's in which 5ml contaings 5mg of Oxycodone and 325mg of Acetaminophen. Now that I've written all of that...I have to ask..why do you ask?
The perscription will say on it how much tylenol it contains or if it contains aspirin (which I doubt pre-surgical). Next to the oxycodone it will say, apap ###. That is the amount of acetaminophen (tylenol) in it.
So as an example it may read, oxycodone 7.5mg/apap 500mg. Physicians don't always tell you the amount of acetaminophen that the particular narcotic contain. The reason again for that is it is written on the script. I hope that helps answer your question.
For some reason my entire question was not posted. Just looking for any advice and/or opinions as to how I can get this under control!
Instead of "opinions" regarding "what some doctors say" go to the FDA site and research acetaminophen toxicity. Renal toxicity is the largest cause of liver failure in the United States. I do NOT recommend "going back to her regular dose". Her "regular dose is far too high". A big problem with acetaminophen is that there is a very narrow safety margin between what the liver can handle and induction of catastrophic irreversible liver failure.
percocet (oxycodone) is immediate release with acetaminophen. oxycontin is just the oxycodone without acetaminophen that has a time release coating on it to make it last longer.
both are highly addictive.
If anything I need to get my meds lowered or get the doctor to write the Percocet without acetaminophen. They do have Percs without acetaminophen. Being an ex heroin user, I know I am addicted to the pain meds and it will be a fight to get off them but I am determined to do so once I can get my back in better shape. Like I said I am just worried that the Percocet I take now is damaging my liver.
Is it safe to take 800mg ibuprofen & 650mg Percocet (each pill 325mg) together at once?
t know what opiate you are taking but such meds at that contain hydrocodone and acetaminophen like Vicodin, Lortab and Percocet can come with as little as 325 mg per tablet of the acetaminophen. I had hoped for years that they would remove this from hydrocodone as they have from oxycodone but all I've seen is the decreased amounts of it.
If possible request that your acetaminophen dose be lowered, it doesn't have to lower the opiate ingredient.
I have been on Pain Medications for so long, that I did know that the Vicodin, Percocet, Etc does have acetaminophen and can kill you. I know you have to take no more then 8-10 a day. Thanks Again!!!
Both oxycodone and Hydrocodone is a narcotic drug and are often used in combination with acetaminophen or APAP, a no steroidal anti inflammatory drug which helps in increasing their potency. Other brand names available under oxycodone are Endocet, Magnacet, Narvox, Tylox, Roxicet etc and under Hydrocodone are Anexsia, Dolorex Forte, Hycet, Liquicet, Lortab, Lorcet, Xodol, Zydone, Zamicet, Maxidone, Norco, Polygesic, Zolvit etc. Both are used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
I agree with Tuck on this. No one but Pain Management Physicians should be prescribing long term opioids. Get your PCP to make a referral to pain management. I would also find a pain management office and get them to start the intake process and evaluation. You also should communicate to your PCP that the Naproxen is not working. It works Peripherally. They should start you on diclofenac.
