Let me teach you how to calculate this value. Every drug has a value called a half-life. There are many different kinds of half-lives, but when we talk about half-life in general like this (removing the drug from the body), we are talking about "elimination" half-life. This is the value you see in data sheets on places like Wiki. The half-life means "The time taken for Half the drug to be eliminated". Anyway, the half-life of Oxycodone (Percocet) is 3 - 4.5 hours. Now a lot of factors can increase this value (eg. if you suffer from renal failure, liver issues etc.) But assuming the worst, and let's say you have taken 40mg of Oxycodone. This means: 4.5 hours later - 20mg remaining 9 hrs later - 10mg remaining 13.5 hrs later - 5mg 18 hrs - 2.5mg 22.5 hrs - 1.25mg So all in all, to be on the safe side, keep this value at 36 hours but allow a buffer of upto 48 hours to be on the safe side since there are other factors to consider like your dosage and body-weight. Hope this helps.
