LOS ANGELES - Sept. 8, 2020 - What is Percocet? Percocet, also known as Oxycodone, an addictive narcotic based pain reliever. It is a blend of the highly potent synthetic narcotic oxycodone with the less common but powerful pain medication acetaminophen. Percocet has been approved for use in the U.S. by the FDA to treat chronic lower back pain. It can also be used for short-term relief of pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, or muscle spasms. Percocet can be habit forming, however, and in the event that you begin taking Percocets regularly they could cause serious and even life-threatening health issues.

So, does Percocet really function as an opioid? The short answer is yes. While both oxycodone and acetaminophen have a reputation as pain killers, they do not have the same effect on the body when taken in high doses. For this reason, doctors prescribe only a very small quantity of either substance for each prescription. This small quantity is delivered directly to the brain and causes intense pain, but it can be stopped by stopping the delivery of the drug.

Oxycodone has been around since the 1940s and was first used to treat patients with opiate addiction. Over the last decade, it has been abused by prescription drug abusers and non-opiate drug abusers. There have been a number of cases of Percocet addiction arising from users. As a result, Percocet has become a very addictive narcotic. In addition to being highly habit forming, it can cause serious and life-threatening complications in users who use it for prolonged periods. When these complications arise, the drug is no longer able to function like an analgesic and can actually cause withdrawal symptoms.

Long term use of Percocet can cause serious liver toxicity, respiratory depression, and even death. In fact, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has listed Percocets as one of its five most dangerous narcotic drugs and warned against its use. While not classified as a Schedule I narcotic, the drug has the potential to become such a dangerous drug that it may be banned in certain countries.

The question remains, then, how long does Percocet remain in the body? Well, that depends largely on the dose taken, as well as factors such as how often the drug is taken, and whether or not it is used in conjunction with other substances. If it is combined with alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other substances that will alter the normal chemistry of the body, the drug will have more of an effect on the body than if taken alone.
