Description

Percocet 10 mg/325 mg is a medication designed to provide effective relief from moderate to severe pain. It contains two active ingredients: oxycodone, a powerful opioid analgesic, and acetaminophen, a non-opioid pain reliever that also helps reduce fever. Oxycodone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the way the body perceives and responds to pain. Acetaminophen enhances pain relief and offers additional benefits by addressing inflammation-related discomfort. Percocet is commonly prescribed for acute pain, such as post-surgical recovery or injury, and certain chronic pain conditions when other treatments are insufficient. It comes in tablet form and should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid potential side effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, or, in some cases, dependency.
