The potency and how long meds can work do depend on the person taking the drug. And the variance can be dramatic. The narcotic in Percocet, oxycodone, is roughly 50% stronger than the narcotic in Vicodin (hydrocodone). For comparison purposes, hydrocodone is just about equal to morphine in potency. Neither Vicodin nor Percocet are formulated to be a long lasting drug, so both will peak in intensity and gradually diminish in strength as time goes on. I believe both Vicodin and Percocet are written to be used every 4-6 hours as needed. Taking it all into consideration, I wholeheartedly agree with the original person who ed this question - it depends on the person. The only reason I went into detail on potency is to show that these drugs are so similar in strength that it really does boil down to the patient.
The medications will last the same amount of time depending on the person. If you take a higher strength it won't make them last longer they will just make the pain relief better for you. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin (depending on the person.) For me I know that Vicodin works on me and Percocet doesn't do anything for my pain.

Can you take Vicodin when allergic to penicillin?
I am allergic to morphine as well. I can take Vicodin, Lortab, Norco etc, but at higher doses (10mg or above) I do sometimes get very slight hives on my face, but not like with morphine. Anything 10mg and below and I've had no problem. That is just my experience. That being said, I cannot take oxycodone, Percocet or any of it's derivatives as it causes MAJOR hives, itching, burning sensation, and respiratory distress. Hope this helps.
What is stronger Lortab Oxycontin or vicodin?
Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc. So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.
Which drug is stronger percocet 5 mg or oxycodone 5 mg?
The same, basically, except that 5 mg tabs of percocet also contain 500 mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen). Percocet is the same as oxycodone otherwise. If people need higher doses of pain meds they are usually given higher doses of oxycodone since the higher doses of Tylenol in percocet can be damaging to the liver and other organs.
