Know about Percocet

Percocet is the brand name of generic drug combination of acetaminophen (commonly known as paracetamol, used in fever to reduce temperature) and oxycodone, an opioid analgesic or pain killer. Other brand names of this combination (acetaminophen plus oxycodone) are Endocet, Magnacet, NArvox, Tylox etc.
