What damage can 30 mg percocets cause to your body also is the damage permanent?

30mg of Percocet can be harmful for some people, but it depends on several things. Percocet comes in several doses. The most common prescribed contains 5mg of oxycodone. Percocet also contains acetaminophen, usually written on the bottle as APAP. 30mg of Percocet can kill a person who has no tolerance to the medication. Oxycodone will cause a decrease in respiration and the person can stop breathing. Also, it is unsafe to take more than 1000mg of acetaminophen at a time, or more than 4000mg in a day. Taking more than this can damage the liver. Taking more than 7000mg of acetaminophen in a 24 hour period can cause liver failure. Keep in mind that once the liver is damaged, it will tolerate less acetaminophen. The antidote given for acetaminophen overdose must be taken within 4 hours of ingestion, so it is important to seek emergency help right away.

Is taking a shot of liquor and a perc 5 harmful?

Ideally, you should not consume alcohol with opiates or acetaminophen (especially acetaminophen). That said, the level of harm that the combination causes is proportional to how much you take. Drugs.com says that you should tell your doctor if you drink more than three drinks a day before taking percocet 5/325 and that drinking alcohol with percocet 5/325 can increase your risk for liver damage. It is recommended that people on percocet do not consumer any alcohol.So the short answer is yes, it is probably harmful. The damage is probably slight, but you may want to reevaluate your reasons for drinking while on percocet. If you are doing it for recreational purposes, consider doing a cold water extraction to limit your acetaminophen consumption.http://www.drugs.com/mtm/percocet-5-325.htmlhttp://everything2.com/title/cold+water+extraction
