Vicodin is a similar drug, while not as strong, can have the same effects. I was given Percocet after having a surgery while Vicodin was prescribed with a crushed foot. I asked my doctor the same question, I will try to write this almost exactly how he explained it to me.
They are both pain relievers, but the Percocet is definitely more potent. They are two very different chemicals. Both contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). Your body turns both into Morphine in the blood. The Vicodin is mixed with a drug called Hydrocodone, While Percocet is mixed with Oxycodone (the ingredient in Oxycontin).
Both however are made from opiates and/ore synthetic opiates, so they have a high risk of dependance, possibly why your doctor has switched you. The Perocet is about 2-3x as strong as the vicodin, but will vary depending on the dosages.
Because of the variance in dosages and the difference in the chemicals, it does NOT mean that two or three vicodin are the same as one percoset, and can be quite dangerous, and could possibly have deadly consequences from taking too many.
