Both drugs (A333 and Percocet) contain Acetomaniophen and Oxycodone Hydrochloride.Both drugs contain the same amount in mg of Acetoaminophen and the only difference between them is the dosage of Oxycodone Hydrochloride. In this regard:
- A333 = 325 mg Acetoaminophen + 10 mg Oxycodone Hydrochloride
- Percocet = 325 mg Acetoaminophen + 2.5 mg Oxycodone Hydrochloride

Based on the Oxycodone Drug Details page, we may say that this medication can cause GI related side effects such as: diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, urine retention, and loss of appetite. I don't know precisely which of these symptoms you may be experiencing, but I believe they can be common as possible side effects. Your stomach sickness can be attributed even to the fact that this product have a different set of inactive ingredients (known as binders/fillers). If you have a known allergy to things like corn starch (a gluten derivative) or propylene glycol (generally used in motor oil for your car), then this might be worth looking into.
