The potent ingredient in any opiate compound is the opiate. 5mg of
Oxycodone is exactly that - 5 mg. Her doctor was trying to lower her
dosage, which may or may not be effective...pure Oxycodone (AKA Roxycodone) is "rapid delivery," and is released into one's bloodstream within minutes, unlike Percocet, the delivery of which takes approximately 30 minutes. It COULD work as well for her - (faster!!) but...well, every body is different.
