Percocet
Brand-name narcotic analgesic
Percocet is a brand-name prescription painkiller combining oxycodone and acetaminophen.
Doctors prescribe it for moderate to severe pain, but its opioid component carries high addiction potential.
Like other prescription opioids, Percocet has been central to the American opioid crisis: He got hooked on Percocets after his surgery.
Often shortened to Perc or Percs in casual speech.
