Signs of Percocet Addiction and Treatment

Medicines are created for treating diseases and offering relief and cure to people suffering from various diseases. Unfortunately, studies reveal that prescription drugs are highly abused for non-medical reasons. In the United States the abuse has escalated to such a level that about seven million Americans are addicted to them, reports say.

 

Many people abuse them as pain relievers and Percocet Addiction is found to be very common. Percocet contains acetaminophen and oxycodone. Oxycodone is just like morphine and heroin and creates the same feeling in the user. It is a narcotic used as opiate analgesic. Tylenol actively contains acetaminophen and users join it with oxycodone to elevate its effect. Actually, Percocet is given to treat moderate or high short-term pain, which is not actually chronic.
