Percocet for Back Pain

Percocet for back pain is a popular brand name prescription drug consisting of a mixture of Oxycodone and paracetamol/acetaminophen. Oxycodone is the main ingredient in this drug. Acetaminophen is included to encourage dual pain relief from both drugs, but mainly to prevent dependence on the more powerful and addictive Oxycodone. It is crucial to exercise extreme care when taking Percocet or any Oxycodone based drug since there are often unwanted side effects including a sizeable risk of user dependency.


Percocet for Back Pain

Varieties of Percocet

Percocet is only one brand name of the combination of Oxycodone and acetaminophen. Other common brand name drugs consisting of this same drug cocktail are Tylox, Endocet, or Roxicet. Regardless of the name, the Oxycodone ingredient is the effective part of the formula for severe pain and also the ingredient which must be closely monitored.

Risks of Percocet for Back Pain

Oxycodone has several common side effects including: constipation, dry mouth, nausea, emotional and mood changes, dizziness and skin rash. Oxycodone has been linked to impotence in men related to prostate problems. It is also a contributor to certain types of renal and liver dysfunction.

The most serious complications associated with Percocet are the risks of addiction and abuse. Patients can develop a rather quick dependency to the drug which can lead them to suffer withdrawal upon ceasing use. Some patients can not stop using Percocet and either acquire the drug illegally or use it as a gateway to worse drugs which offer a similar feeling, like morphine or heroin.

Recommendation on Percocet for Back Pain

Like most other narcotic drugs, Percocet is serious business. It is not to be taken like an aspirin at the first sign of pain. Taking Oxycodone casually is the easiest way to develop an addiction. Make sure to inform your doctor of any health problems or drugs you are using to avoid potentially harmful or even fatal interactions. Do not drink alcohol when taking any form of Oxycodone. If you have been prescribed Percocet, make sure to follow the doctor’s directions to the letter. Discontinue using the drug as soon as possible and try to find natural, non-pharmaceutical means of continuing pain relief.
