Pros and cons of Percocet (oxycodone / acetaminophen)
Pros
Provides pain relief within 10 to 30 minutes when non-opioid medications aren’t enough to control your pain
Doesn’t raise the risk of bleeding like other NSAID pain medications, so it may be an option for people taking blood thinners or people with a history of serious bleeding
Available in a liquid form for people who have trouble swallowing pills
Available as a lower-cost, generic medication
Cons
High risk of misuse and dependency
Must slowly lower the dose before stopping after long-term use
Can cause constipation
Not recommended to take with other medications containing acetaminophen, since it can raise the risk of liver damage
A controlled medication, so there are special requirements to get a prescription filled
