Default What's the difference between endocet and percocet?

I got prescribed percocets from a surgery I just had and I went to 3 different pharmacies to fill my prescription. 2 gave me endocet and 1 gave me percocet. The 2 pharmacies that gave me endocet didn't charge me dispensing fees and the one that gave me percocets charged me dispensing fees. So i'm just wondering if one is better than the other or are they both the exact same?

Thanks

Endocet and Percocet are two different brands for oxycodone with acetaminophen. note there are different strengths within both of those brands. typically its 5 mg oxycodone with 325 mg acetaminophen. As long as the strengths were the same, then the medicine was exactly the same, just different looks to it.

Default difference betwen percocet and endocet

Hello-

Along time ago, Endocet its was also considered a brand name frome what I understand. I know if you went to the Er they would often prescribe endocet, but now it is considered a generic. In my personal opinion, I pefer Endocet over most generice Percocet especially Watson because they are round and almost impossinle to break in half without a pill cutter and even then it is difficult. Most of the time the Endocets are yellow quite like the percs. I'm sure everyone has there own favorite, but when it comes to percs this happens to be mine and they are cheaper too. Hope this helps. Have a happy New Year Everyone!!
