Important information about Percocet
Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen. Do not take more Percocet than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain. Oxycodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Percocet may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Percocet will affect you. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.
