How Does One Differentiate Between A Generic Tablet And A Branded Tablet Of Percocet?
Question: Is an imprinted M523, 10/325 Percocet tablet a Generic or a pure brand Percocet?
Brief Answer:
if percocet is printed on package- it is the branded product
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Percocet is a mixture of oxycodone and acetaminophen.
Percocet is the brand name. The numbers at the back give an indication of the strength of the different components.
If the tablet/packaging is labelled percocet then it is the brand not a generic.
Generics would be labelled eg- oxycodone/acetaminophen - just listing the ingredients, would not be called percocet
Generics cannot have the branded name on them.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
