Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The percocet has elimination half life of around 3 to 3.5 hours. So almost within 2 days, all drug particles get cleared from the body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
