• Severe asthma or respiratory issues; or
• An obstruction in your gastrointestinal tract.

Disclaimer

Avoid using Percocet if you have recently consumed alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or other opioid medications. Additionally, refrain from using Percocet if you have taken a MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, such as isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, or tranylcypromine, or if you have received a methylene blue injection.

Oxycodone, one of the components of Percocet, can slow or halt breathing and may lead to dependence. Stick strictly to your prescribed dosage, and swallow the pill whole to prevent a potentially fatal dose. Under no circumstances should Percocet be shared with another person.

Misuse of Percocet can result in addiction, overdose, or even death, especially in individuals using the medication without a prescription, including children. Adhere to the recommended Percocet dosage diligently. Overdosing on oxycodone or acetaminophen (both present in Percocet) can be lethal. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms such as nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, appetite loss, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

If a pregnant woman has taken Percocet, oxycodone (a component of Percocet) may induce life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.

Cease Percocet usage and contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop skin redness or a spreading rash accompanied by blistering and peeling.

Using Percocet with alcohol or other drugs that induce drowsiness or slow breathing can lead to fatal side effects.

Do not utilize Percocet if you suffer from severe asthma or breathing difficulties, or if you have a gastrointestinal blockage.
