what is the usual dosage for oxycodone
It is also possible that patients who have a history of tolerance to pain medications may be prescribed a higher dosage to ensure treatment is effective. As Percocet is a mixture of two drugs, oxycodone and acetaminophen, it is possible to have varying amounts of each type of drug in the prescription. Percocet dosages are identified with two numbers that are expressed in the following format: oxycodone/acetaminophen. If a person were being treated with a dosage listed as 5/360 mg, the numbers signify that the dosage is 5 mg oxycodone in conjunction with 360 mg of acetaminophen. The exact amount of each drug within the prescription is determined by the physician when the dosage need is determined.
