to understand the answer you would have to understand what the half life of Oxycodone which is the narcotic in Percocet thankfully I know the answer which is between 3.5-6 hours depending on metabolism and diet. Anyway a half life is the time it takes for a drug to reach half of its original dose for example if you take 10mg's of oxycodone in 3-6 hours its going to feel like you had only taken 5mg in 3-6 more hours its going to feel like you took 2.5 mg and so on it usually takes 8-10 halflife processes for it to drop to a less than detectable level. It also depends on how much of the drug you take for example if you take alot of the drug for the drug to reach a less than detectable level its going to take many more half lives than it would if you were taking a lesser dose. Does this make sense to you my friend?
