Brief Answer:
Percodan contains aspirin and oxycodone.....

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Percodan contains aspirin and oxycodone. They are both pain medications. Hydrocodone is a pain medication of the same class as oxycodone. This means that percodan is going to be more effective than hydrocodone as it contains ante active pain ingredient. However, aspirin is known to cause stomach pain and should be taken with great caution.

I hope this addresses your fears. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
