About

Percocet is typically prescribed to manage moderate to severe pain that is not adequately controlled by other pain medications. Oxycodone, the opioid component of Percocet, works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, thereby blocking pain signals and providing pain relief. Acetaminophen enhances the pain-relieving effects of oxycodone and also helps to reduce fever.
