"Neither medication is more effective than the other, although the acetaminophen in Percocet affects different receptorsTrusted Source than oxycodone in the pain pathway. The choice of medication depends on the type of pain and the health of the individual. However, oxycodone can provide more pain relief via increased prescription strength.
Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever, which may relieve the discomfort associated with severe infections. It will not, however, treat the underlying infection.
For instance, doctors do not recommend Percocet for anyone with a history of liver issues. A person with this medical history should not take the drug, even if oxycodone alone does not work."
