Question

What is the difference between oxycontin and percocet?

Answer 1

When you pass out on oxycontin you'll fall on your face.  When you pass out on percocet, you'll fall on your back.

Answer 2

haha chicken that was funny. oxycontin is extremely potent. percocet is oxycodone 5/325, 7.5/325, 10/325. the 5,7.5,10 is the amount of painkiller (oxycodone) that is in the pill. the 325 is Tylenol or acetamhinopen. oxycontin is pure painkiller. it is hardly unlike heroin. the only difference to me is that oxycontin comes in pill form: 5,10,20,40,80,160 are the milligrams for them.

Answer 3

Percocet is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. OxyContin is oxycodone alone, in a timed-release matrix. The former should last three or four hours; the latter is designed to be slowly absorbed over three times that, eight to twelve hours, and the dosages are substantially greater, since they're to be released from the matrix over the prolonged time frame. Breaking the integrity of the pill is where many people get into trouble, since the large dose if immediately released is often too much to handle.

Answer 4

PD is correct

Answer 5

OxyContin is the brand name for oxycodone.  Percocet is oxycodone in combination with acetaminophen (Tylenol).
