Percocet is a prescription medication used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a combination of two drugs: oxycodone, a potent opioid pain reliever, and acetaminophen, a non-opioid pain reliever and fever reducer. Percocet pill is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance due to the risk of abuse and addiction. Percocet is available in different strengths and is typically taken orally every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to take Percocet only as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to avoid taking more than the recommended dose or using it for longer than prescribed.
