Is Percocet The Same As OxyContin?
Question: Who are you. You didn't answer the lasttime. Is Percocet and OxyContin the same. How long does it take to get pout of the urine and blood
Brief Answer:
Yes, these are the same medications used for pain management
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
These medications are the same except that percocet has some tylenol added to it. They are both used to manage severe pains. How long they stay in blood depends on the form used. They can be in blood for up 4-12hours depending on the formulation. Immediate release formulations last about four hours and extended release formulations can go up to 12hours.
It takes at least 10days for this drug to be completely out of the body such that a urine test would be negative for a drug screen. However, 5-10days remains a gray area where you can test either positive or negative but 10days is for sure a negative test and 5days for sure a positive test.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
