Percocet is considered a combination drug since it contains Oxycodone and acetaminophen. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain symptoms.

Some common minor side effects can be associated with taking this medication.

These side effects could include constipation, mild nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, dry mouth, blurred vision, and sweating.

Keep in mind that these are minor common side effects that you could suffer from while taking this drug. If you suffer any of these side effects, it should be nothing to worry about, because they are most often harmless.

More Severe Side Effects

However, there are some more severe side effects that you can suffer from. If you suffer from any of these side effects, you need to get medical attention immediately. For instance, if you develop hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, tongue, lips, or throat, it could be possible that you are having an allergic reaction to the medication.

If you get significant nausea from the effect, you will need to seek medical attention, but mild nausea will be usual.

Possible Ways to Avoid Nausea

There are some things that you could try to offset the nausea side effect when taking Percocet.

For instance, you could try taking the medication after you have eaten a meal or a light snack. Drinking a large glass of cold milk with the medication is also another suggestion to help avoid nausea.

If any of the above methods didn’t alleviate the nausea symptom, you could try cutting the pill in half. Take the first half as you normally would, then about an hour later, take the other half.
