How Long Does Percocet Remain In The System?
I also forgot to mention that I have been seeing this doctor for 5 years. I have had about 6 or 7 random screenings over that time. I have never failed 1, but then again, I have never taken anything, but my pesription.

Hello XXXX,
The rate that Percocet (oxycodone) is cleared from the body differs from one person to the next depending on how much of certain enzymes they have in their liver. After a single dose, half of it is eliminated in about 4 hours. There is a smaller percentage that won't be eliminated for 24 hours.
If the type of test used tests for opiates in general, there won't be signs of whether it is a different drug used. However a panel that looks for specific narcotics will show this as 2 different narcotics. Norco is hydrocodone, and Percocet is oxycodone.
Still, it would be worth going to see your doctor so that you are not without any treatment for your back. Maybe your doctor will understand if you explain that you ran out before you were able to get in to see him/her?
