Bill: Just to verify what I said re: our experience with Percocet--from
the database---the non=narcotic part is OK, it's the oxycodone that is the
problem.
oxycodone / PercocetTM , RoxicetTM , TyloxTM
OPIATE: USED POST-OPERATIVELY:
DOPAMINE ANTAGONIST: HIGH RISK
Description: Acetaminophen and oxycodone are used together as an oral
analgesic product. These products are used to
treat pain. Acetaminophen is a non-narcotic analgesic, and oxycodone is a
narcotic analgesic. This combination produces a
greater analgesic effect than that produced by acetaminophen alone or by
higher doses of narcotic. Also, this combination
might cause fewer adverse reactions than do equianalgesic doses of either
agent alone.

oxycodone 5 mg TyloxTM capsules or RoxicetTM
