Hi,
Thank you for your query.

Percocet contains oxycodone and paracetamol.

You may consider taking ondansetron as an antiemetic. Also, take omeprazole daily to prevent acidity. Please get these prescribed by your nausea, consult your physician.
If you have any further queries, you are free to consult me.

Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Have a nice day.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
