Can I Workout At Gym While Taking Percocet?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I am currently taking percocet 7.5/325. Can I work out at the gym after taking a pill? I am prescribed the medication and have been on it for a while, but I would like to get back into shape. Is there any type of excercise that I should avoid?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Percocet is a combination on acetaminophen and oxycodone. The oxycodone may cause dizziness and drowsiness and this may affect your ability to exercise but this is the only possible problem.

You should be able exercise once these effects are not bothersome to you.

I hope this helps
