Everyone I have ever talked to says they are the same thing.. but if that is true, why is one 3x more expensive than the other? I've never taken either so I don't know.. but something doesn't add up.

oxycodone is the active ingredient in percocet... the reason that oxycontin is so much more expensive is the amount of milligrams, most percs are 5mg or 7.5mg(there are 10mg too). oxycontin comes in 10,20,40,80,160mg... so depending on the size the price goes up accordingly. they are the same narcotic, qty determines price or if you meant roxicodone... thats the same too, but I usually hear about the 30mg one, which would explain the 3x the price you mentioned

it is because percocet is the brand name and the other one is a generic.
many times the brand name is preferred and considered better quality by users.
but there is no difference in the ingredients?
no difference in the ingredients... just the manufacturer.
wow
why would someone pay 5x as much for one of the other if they are both the same thing? This blows my mind
same reason they pay twice as much for any name brand instead of a no frills generic... they really believe the quality is much better. In some cases it is,most of the time its the same with a different wrapper.
