Percocet

[shadee]

I was prescribed Percocet and I received the generic brand Oxycodone W/APAP 5/325
Two weeks later i had a kidney stone and was prescribed Percocet again. This time the generic name was Endocet 7.5/500

Why was it Oxycodone one time and Endocet the next time.

             Thank You,

......well at least we didn't have an "Oxycodone" brand in Canada, for all the years i took them.

We had/have Percocet(by DuPont)
            Endocet
            Oxycocet(by Technilab)
The last two were the only ones my insurance would pay the full amount for, as they require a generic be used.

....and all the ones i had filled(or bought) were the 5mg of oxycodone variety

Oxycodone is the narcotic in both of your scripts.  The former, "Oxycodone" is not the generic name of the  drug.....but the drug itself.  Endocet is the generic name, and has oxycodone in it as well.  

Oh yes, also your first Rx had 5mgs of oxycodone, whereas your last one had 7.5mgs.
