Brief Answer:
No. It will not show a difference.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A drug test will not differentiate between a Narcotic or percocet. Taking percocet can cause a false positive test. It is best to avoid taking any pain killer for two weeks before going for any such test.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
