No, pharmacolically, Percocet is a combo drug containing both a narcotic, an opiate-like drug called "oxycodone" and an NSAID, such as Aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen. An NSAID stands for "Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug", and alone are non-narcotic and can be bought over the counter. Percocet is via prescription-only painkiller, a narcotic, because it contains the opiate, oxycodone. and is combined with either aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen depending on the brand and/or country for which it is prescribed.
What else can I help you with?
Can i altyernate with another pain medication to reduce my percocet tolerance?
This depends on which pain medication you are alternating with. Alternating with another opiate (morphine, hydrocodone, codeine, etc..) will not reduce your tolerance to Percocet because opiates possess a cross-tolerance with each other. Substituting an over the counter NSAID such as ibuprofen for Percocet will slowly reduce your opiate tolerance but the dosage of NSAID needed to even come close to the pain relieving effects of Percocet would have serious detrimental effects on your liver and stomach. The best and safest way to reduce your Percocet tolerance is to slowly reduce your dosage and space dosages out.
