What is perk used for?
The prescription drug medication called Percocet is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It contains oxycodone and acetaminophen, two of its active components. Acetaminophen is a non-opioid and fever reducer, whereas oxycodone is a potent opioid pain reliever. Comprising oxycodone and acetaminophen, Percocet is intended to relieve pain. However, as an opioid and Schedule II controlled substance, it has a high potential for dependence and addiction.PERCOCET tablets are a Schedule II controlled substance. Oxycodone is a mu-agonist opioid with an abuse liability similar to morphine. Oxycodone, like morphine and other opioids used in analgesia, can be abused and is subject to criminal diversion.Both Percocet and oxycodone-CR products relieve pain, but while Percocet gives relief for about five hours, the effects of oxycodone-CR last for about 12 hours, when taken as prescribed. Percocet contains five milligrams of oxycodone, which is all released when the pill is taken.
