What is another name for percocet?

Percocet is the commercial trade name for a drug which is a combination of Oxycodone/hydromorphone and acetaminophen (the active drug used in Tylenol). acetaminophen is used in Percocet and other similar drugs because it potentiates the effects of opioid pain killers. This means that the acetaminophen can magnify the effects of low levels of opiates, and the same level of pain can be controlled with much less opiate. This is good since opiates are addictive and have dangerous side effects. The most important side effect in the clinical setting is respiratory depression- which can cause a patient to stop breathing completely. Thus the importance of using less opiate.
